Police forensic experts were yesterday examining a burnt out car near Cullaville in Co Armagh in which a body was found morning.
The car was owned by a young man who went missing last Wednesday. The discovery of the car, the property of Mr Malachy Watters (22), single from Malachy Conlon Park, Cullaville, was found on an isolated dirt track close to the Monaghan Border.
Mr Watters's family had alerted the RUC and Garda at the weekend about the disappearance and were about to issue a public appeal yesterday when a search party found the wreckage.
The RUC said it would be some time before there could be positive identification of the victim.
