TWO people arrested on suspicion of murdering missing teenager Damien Nettles will not face any further police action.
Police have confirmed there was insufficient evidence to charge the pair, a 36-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, both from Cowes.
They were released today (Thursday) from police bail after being further questioned by detectives from Hampshire Major Investigation Team.
A third person, a 38-year-old man from Ryde, was unable to answer police bail today, as scheduled. Officers will arrange a new appointment in due course for him to be questioned further.
