LONDON (Reuters) -A teenager from Britain who was found in southern France after disappearing six years ago is expected to return to his family in northern England in the next few days, after he apparently fled a spiritualist mountain community.

Alex Batty disappeared at the age of 11 during a holiday with his mother and grandfather to Malaga, Spain, in 2017 and both are still wanted in connection with his disappearance.
