Body Located In Missing Man Search
Volunteers searching for missing Belfast pensioner Tony Crickard in Co Kerry have found a body.
The body - which has since has been removed from the scene - was located at the foot of Mount Brandon (pictured).
The family of the Belfast man missing since Friday had announced earlier that today would be last official search for Mr Crickard, 80, of Norfolk Parade, who was last seen at Brandon Creek near Dingle.
Mr Crickard's niece, Christine Mhic Giolla Mhin, said "the family are devastated" and explained that they were all in Co Kerry for the funeral of Mr Crickard's grandnephew.
"My brother, my son, cousin and nephew were with him. They'd gone for coffee and he was meant to join them 10 minutes later and didn't.
"At the funeral he was a bit confused, but the family put it down to the travelling and the upset," Ms Mhic Giolla Mhin said.
