Statement from Mylo Capilla’s Family

Thank you so much for this. The love shown for our Mylo is unbelievable.

I’m commenting here as seems to be a lot of people seeing it.

The family have moved the flowers etc. from copper gardens. Mylo’s mum wanted them all to be together at St. Francis of Assisi church.

We have taken and read all of the cards, drawings etc. and they will be in the church at the alter for people to read. We didn’t want them to get damaged from the rain.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts 💙

Anyone wishing to lay flowers

SAD NEWS 💔

Very sadly, police and partner agencies searching the river for 13-year-old Mylo Capilla at Ingleby Barwick have found the body of a boy.

Whilst formal identification has yet to take place, Mylo’s parents have been informed and they continue to be supported by specially trained officers.

All our thoughts are with Mylo’s family and friends as well as with the wider community at this extremely difficult time.

No more news as yet but still searching
Boy, 13, Entered Water at Ingleby Barwick and Remains Missing

Thirteen-year-old Mylo Capilla was last seen on the evening of Thursday, 26 June, after reportedly entering the water near Ramsey Gardens in Ingleby Barwick—an area known locally as “the muddies”—while with a friend.

Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Dave Sutherland said:

“Since the report came in at 9pm last night (Thursday 26 June 2025), officers have been carrying out intensive searches throughout the night in the effort to find Mylo.

“This morning, the search continues with specialist teams including police drones and dogs, Cleveland Fire Brigade, the National Police Air Service, and both marine and mountain rescue teams.

“This is an incredibly upsetting time for Mylo’s family, his friends, and the wider community.

“I understand people want to help, but I strongly urge the public not to go near the river to search—both for safety reasons and to allow the professionals to carry out their work without disruption.

“If you’re at the scene and want to support in any way, please speak directly with an officer.

“We are doing everything possible to find Mylo. Anyone with information is asked to call 101.”

Hi. I'd like recommendations for a joiner to remove and replace a wooden garden door, please. Also to remove and replace window panels in garden shed.This has been ongoing since March due to time wasters. Please only recommend tradesmen who have finished a good job for yourself and not just a friend. Many thanks.
