Body found in search for boy missing at sea

A body has been found during the search for a missing 16-year-old boy.

A search conducted by the police underwater team off the north Wales coast recovered the body at 18:20 BST on Wednesday.

The body has yet to be identified but Athrun's family, from South Gloucestershire, have been informed and are currently being supported by officers.

Athrun, who is autistic, and was believed to be wearing only blue and white patterned swim shorts and no footwear, was last seen at West Shore Beach in Llandudno, Conwy county at about 14:00 BST on 10 May.

North Wales Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious.

Chief Inspector Trystan Bevan said: "This is not the outcome anyone hoped for, and I would once again like to thank partner agencies and members of the public for their overwhelming support and tireless assistance with the searches over the last five days."
