A ?20,000 reward is being offered by police to help solve the mystery | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
of the disappearance of a 16-year-old 30 years ago. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Kevin Hicks from Croydon went to the shops and never came home. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Detectives now believe he may have been murdered. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
They're appealing for an unnamed woman, who called a local newspaper | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
a decade after he disappeared, to come forward. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
The last photo of a missing schoolboy. | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
16-year-old Kevin Hicks went missing from his home in Croydon | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
His disappearance in 1986 prompted a huge search effort from police | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
Maybe he's run away and we're looking for him, but maybe something | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
30 years on, and for those missing this 16-year-old boy, | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
He was only going down the road to buy some eggs. | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
He had a pound on him and that was it. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
In October 1996, the Croydon Advertiser newspaper took | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
an anonymous phone call about his case. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Now, following a review, police have announced | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
When police reviewed the case earlier this year | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
First of all, the night that Kevin disappeared he told his parents | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
he was going to a local shop to buy some eggs, yet an hour-and-a-half | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
later he was seen here on Shirley Road for the last time, | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
leading police to believe he may have been meeting someone. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Secondly, he had received some speakers from an anonymous person | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
days before his disappearance, something he tried to | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Thirdly, there was the anonymous call to the Croydon Advertiser | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
newspaper ten years after his disappearance, suggesting | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
that that person knew the location his body was buried. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Police now believe he had been groomed and perhaps | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
When this disappearance is viewed with a grooming aspect in mind it | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
does raise suspicions that he met with foul play that night. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
There was a huge police response at the time and massive area | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
searching around south Croydon and lower Addiscombe. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Now we're being more intelligence-led and evidence-led | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
and that's why we are basing this appeal now. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Investigators believe whoever called the Croydon Advertiser 20 years ago | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
What I would appeal to is the person that made that call | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
I believe that person has some very specific information | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
as to what happened to Kevin's body that night and I would urge them | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Make that phone call. You know what happened that night. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Ring the police. Get that secret told. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Just come forward. Let me have closure. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
That's all I'm asking. I just need closure. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
Alexandra Hicks ending that report by Dan Freedman. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
The mayor, Sadiq Khan, says he wants to reassure Londoners | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
and tourists that the capital is still one of the safest | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
It follows yesterday's lorry attack on a Christmas market in Berlin. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Let's get more from Ayshea Buksh who's outside City hall tonight. | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
The German Embassy in London lowered its flags to half-mast today and | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
from tomorrow afternoon there will be a book of condolence open in | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
memory of the victims of the attack in Berlin for the public to sign. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Here at City Hall the mayor has said that London stands shoulder to | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
shoulder with Berlin and any concerns Londoners or visitors to | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
the capital may have over security are being looked at very seriously. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
I would reassure Londoners and those visiting London | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
that the Met Police Service and others are doing | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
The Met Police are currently reviewing safety and security around | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
events like Winter Wonderland, around events like the New Year's | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
Eve fireworks, around markets taking place across London. | :04:14. | :04:25. | |
Scotland Yard have said in addition to reviewing those festive events | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
they've also brought forward plans to close roads around Buckingham | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Palace during the changing of the guard. They point out these plans | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
were being considered before the attack in Germany but in light of | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
events in Berlin they're being brought forward. London Fire Brigade | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
has also pointed out they would be prepared for any potential terrorist | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
attack here in the capital. Earlier we spoke to the outgoing commission | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
error for the NFB. There were useful lessons to come out of 7/7, we have | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
learned those, we have new equipment, firefighters have new | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
skills than previously. I am confident that we are as best | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
prepared as we can be without knowing what the next attack is | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
going to be and unfortunately that next attack will come at sometime. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Scotland Yard has said that the threat remains severe here in the UK | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
but the public should be alert but not alarmed. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
Thank you. Next, it can be a vital lifeline | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
for frail and vulnerable people, but with pressure on budgets | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
a growing number of councils are cutting their meals on wheels | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
services to save money. However, one County Council | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
is increasing the number of meals it delivers, | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
which it claims will Yvonne Hall reports | :05:37. | :05:38. | |

Do come in. Margaret has very painful | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
osteoarthritis, she can't cook A hot, balanced meal delivered | :05:48. | :05:50. | |

the former secretary stay well I don't have to worry | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
working in the kitchen And someone is checking on me every | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
day to make sure that I am perfectly all right, | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
which means an awful lot to me. Because I have no family | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
to check on me at all. How's your appetite been | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
since I last saw you? Regular health checks | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
are included in the service. It's run by Hertfordshire | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
County Council and Hills, Staff have found that more | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
than a third of the people referred to them are at serious | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
risk of malnutrition. In a recent survey of more than 800 | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
clients like Margaret, 87% said 76% visit their GPs less | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
and about 93% feel happier Despite budget cuts, | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
Hertfordshire's now providing more of them than anywhere else | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
in the UK. The health checks | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
included are unique. If the people that we serve meals | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
on wheels to were to go into care it It's estimated we could spend | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
?40 million more per year on residential care, | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
if we didn't pay for the meals on wheels service | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
which is just ?1 million. But elsewhere, meals on wheels have | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
been drastically cut, some fear it's leading | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
to an increase in malnutrition. In 2014, 67% of councils in the | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
south-east provided meals on wheels. This year, that's | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
fallen to just 17%. It's estimated that more | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
than a million people over 65 in the UK are now suffering | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
malnutrition or are That's 10% of the | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
elderly population. I think it's a very, | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
very sad state of affairs for our country because it didn't | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
used to be like this. With the number of over 65s | :07:47. | :07:56. | |
predicted to rise by nearly 50% in the next 20 years, | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
the need to ensure basic nourishment and care will continue to challenge | :08:00. | :08:01. | |

Two. OK. On that festive note let's check | :09:47. | :10:02. | |
on the weather with Wendy. Thank you. A beautiful day across | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
London and still clear skies above us at the moment. It means it's | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
chilly out there. The temperature has fallen to freezing. However, | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
it's going to start clouding over soon. Look at what that does to the | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
temperatures, they're going up through the night, probably higher | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
than through today underneath that cloud. You can also see that we get | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
rain starting to come from that cloud as we go through the early | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
hours of the morning and that takes us through the rush hour, as well. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
It's also going to start feeling more breezy. The middle part of the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
day, the rain will be out of the way and a brighter slot but it's not for | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
long because the next batch shows up and that's even more persistent and | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
heavier and it will take us through the evening rush hour. Temperatures | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
looking mild but when you factor in the rain and wind it's not going to | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
feel great. You can see the sunshine returns on Thursday. We will have | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
blue skies again. Turning breezy by the end of the week. If you are | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
