Sean Kennedy was last seen at a Sydney nightclub
|
The girlfriend of an English tourist missing in Australia has made a public appeal for information on his whereabouts.
Sean Kennedy was last seen in Sydney on the night of Thursday, 29 July.
New South Wales police said the 22-year-old had been ejected from a nightclub in the city just before he disappeared.
His girlfriend, Catherine Rowden from Northern Ireland, said it was out of character for him to go a night without calling her.
Police said Mr Kennedy, of Northampton, had been at a concert at the nightclub when he became involved in a "verbal altercation" and was asked to leave by security.
He did not go to work the next day and has not been back to his apartment since.

It's not in his nature to argue or fight with anybody

Ms Rowden urged anyone with any information about his disappearance to contact police.
"I just need to know that Sean is okay," the 22-year-old told a news conference in Sydney.
"It is so out of character for him to go the night without contacting me.
"In the 18 months we have been going out together, a day wouldn't pass without us at least talking to, or texting, each other."
She said Mr Kennedy's disappearance made no sense.
Kennedy and Rowden had been in Sydney since February

"It's not in his nature to argue or fight with anybody," she was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press.
"We're not from here, so we don't have anybody that we can ask for help."
She said Mr Kennedy's parents and sister were "deeply distressed".
The couple have been on a working holiday together in Australia since February.
They arrived in Sydney in April and had planned to stay there until September.
A New South Wales police spokeswoman told BBC News Online there had been no new information about the disappearance since Ms Rowden's plea.
