TRIBUTES have begun to come in for a Bradford teenager who was found dead in a reservoir.

Police searching for missing 15-year-old Zakir Muhammad Mughal found a body in Chellow Dene Reservoir just before 6pm on Thursday evening.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said yesterday: "Although formal identification is yet to take place, the body is believed to be that of Zakir and his family have been informed.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time."

Bradford Council said at 2.39pm yesterday that Chellow Dene Reservoir was closed to members of the public due to police activity.

The force confirmed shortly after they were searching in the area for Zakir.

Muslim bereavement service, Janaza Announcements, told the Telegraph & Argus earlier on Thursday evening that Zakir's family will be at Victor Street Mosque, in Manningham, for condolences up until the day of the funeral, with details of this still to be confirmed.
