Joop Sparkes' loved ones have travelled to the Czech Republic capital in an effort to help with the ongoing search.
A Scottish holidaymaker has gone missing during a weekend break in Prague after witnesses reportedly saw him jump off a party boat. Joop Sparkes, 29, travelled to the Czech Republic with friends on Friday and had been enjoying the capital city's bars and nightclubs. On Saturday night, the group departed on a party boat that sailed off from outside the President Hotel Prague.
Ms Wilson said a woman on the boat reportedly saw Mr Sparkes swimming towards the opposite side of the river to the President Hotel Prague. She said: 'But when I asked if it looked like he was swimming okay or if he was maybe struggling, she couldn't say as it was quite dark.' Ms Wilson said it was out of character for Mr Sparkes to be out of contact with his loved ones.
