The family of a 29-year-old British tourist who went missing in Prague last month have confirmed a body found in a river by Czech police is his.
Joop Sparkes, from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, was last seen in the early hours of April 27 when he jumped into the Vltava River from a party boat.
The Daily Mirror quoted his sister Jodie Wilson saying: ‘The body recovered from the water last night has been confirmed as Joop.
‘We are all absolutely heartbroken and this wasn’t the outcome we had hoped for but like we promised we are bringing our boy home.
‘We love you to the moon and back Joopster and you have left the biggest hole in our hearts ever. Rest easy baby bro.’
