Two people arrested on suspicion of murdering Blackpool schoolgirl Paige Chivers have been released without charge.

The 19-year-old woman and 53-year-old man answered bail at Bonny Street police station on Tuesday, and questioned for a second time, before being released.

Paige (pictured right) has been missing since August 23 after leaving her home on Longford Avenue following a family row.

Despite a massive police hunt the former Montgomery High School pupil has not been found.

Det Supt Kevin Toole, who is leading the investigation, said: "I'm still keeping an open mind on what may have happened but while we're hoping for the best, we're prepared for the worst.

"I believe there are people in Blackpool who know what has happened to Paige and they are not coming forward."
