Police in Belfast say a body recovered from the River Lagan yesterday may be that of missing Queen's University student Michael Barr.

The 18-year-old from Derry was last seen in the early hours of Tuesday last week after a night out at the students' union.

He was seen at a petrol station close to his halls of residence and about two miles from the spot where his personal belongings, a watch, wallet and shoes, were later discovered.
