Mami Konneh Lahun (24), a runner from Sierra Leone who came to London to take part in the London Marathon, went missing soon after crossing the finishing line on Sunday (April 12th) and has not been seen since.
The runner who arrived in the UK on April 7th on a 6 month visa was due to return home soon after the race, but she did not check in on her flight on Monday and has also not returned to her temporary residence in Greenwich. Earlier this week, police stated that Lahun had been found ‘safe and sound’ however they retracted their statement, citing an error made by a police officer.
Lahun, who is the first woman to represent Sierra Leone in the London Marathon, has no links to the UK and also does not have a mobile phone. She completed the race in 2hrs46mins20secs and crossed the finish line in 20th place.
