News / Police name missing canoeist
POLICE in Shetland this morning (Monday) named the missing canoeist after coastguard teams had scaled down their search over the weekend.
Fifty one year old Kester Jonathon Wigram, originally from Wellington in New Zealand, has been living in Shetland for over ten years.
Mr Wigram, described as an experience canoeist, was last seen in a wetsuit on Thursday morning when he carried a red canoe to the St Ninians’ Isle beach.
The alarm was raised by a local resident the following morning who had noticed that Mr Wigram’s Vauxhall car was still in the carpark.
A spokesman for Northern Constabulary said that their enquiries were ongoing.
