A body found in Spain is believed to be that of missing man, Gareth George, who vanished last month while on holiday. Spanish police have informed his father, Billy George, of the discovery and a formal identification is pending. The family believes Gareth was murdered and secretly buried.
A solicitor representing the family said Billy George, the victim’s father, contacted him from Spain shortly after 5pm on Tuesday after the Cuerpo de la Guardia Civil confirmed a body had been located.
Dozens of family members and friends travelled to Alicante to take part in the search for Mr George , a father of two, who failed to return home from a holiday last month. A Northern Ireland voluntary search and rescue team also travelled to Spain on New Year’s Day following a fundraising campaign but returned at the weekend.
“The family want to thank all who have helped and supported them over the last number of days,” Mr Winters added.
