Girlfriend Of Corrie McKeague Announces Birth

The girlfriend of missing RAF airman Corrie McKeague has announced the birth of their baby. 

April Oliver had been in a relationship with Corrie for five months before he went missing from his base at RAF Honington in Suffolk.

April Oliver, from Norfolk, uploaded an image on her Facebook page on Father's Day of her cradling the girl.

In a later post, the serviceman's mother Nicola Urquhart said "We have finally welcomed this beautiful little lady into the world. She is absolutely perfect".

Miss Oliver said she had discovered she was pregnant with Mr Mckeague's baby two weeks after his disappearance.

In May, she posted an image of herself holding the bump.

Alongside the photo, she wrote: "Your daddy would be proud of you my little one and would love you as much as I do. Corrie will be a part of both of us forever and no one can take that away. Mummy loves you little baby."

Corrie McKeague has been missing since September when he was last seen on CCTV after a night out with friends.

Since March, police have been searching through waste at a landfill site in Milton, Cambridgeshire, where they believe his body might be.
