A post mortem on human remains found after a houseboat fire in Oxford will continue today.

Pathologists began their examination yesterday at the John Radcliffe Hospital following the blaze on Friday, November 16.

The remains are thought to be of boat owner Kevin Pryor, 49, whose name was released by officers seeking information on his whereabouts before the fire.

It started on board his narrowboat Lady of the Lake and so far its cause has not been determined and police are continuing to investigate.
