A senior member of the police High Command confirmed with our news centre that the matter was now being investigated as a case of murder.

This is the fourth such search of the premises since the social media influencer was reported missing.

It’s understood scene of crime detectives are carefully scouring the inside of the apartment for any additional evidence that may explain Donaldson’s whereabouts.

He remains in custody pending a question and answer session with his attorney, Christopher Townsend.
