Body of Missing Belfast Man Found in Spain

The body of John George, a 37-year-old man from Belfast who went missing in Spain, has been found, prompting a murder investigation. Spanish police made the discovery in a rural area of Rojales, near Torrevieja, just days after George's family expressed their belief that he was dead. A 32-year-old man of Eastern European origin has been arrested on suspicion of homicide, while police have not ruled out further arrests. George's family, who traveled to Spain to aid in the search, are both 'distressed but relieved' by the news, which ends an 'extremely tortuous' search process. Formal identification of the remains is pending, with DNA tests expected to confirm his identity. The family has requested privacy as they navigate the next stages of this tragic situation.
