The family of a Belfast man found dead in Spain have had an emotional homecoming. Billy George, whose son John, had been on holiday in Alicante when he went missing last month, said he would have stayed if John’s body had not been found.

The family of a west Belfast man feared murdered in Spain say they are returning home on Friday “broken” and expressed frustration over the investigation into his death. A body discovered near the town of Rojales in Alicante on Tuesday has been formally identified as that of 37-year-old John George.

Police in Spain have been given another 72 hours to question a 32-year-old man they arrested earlier this week.
