Missing man’s body found

The remains of a man who went missing from the London area in 2009 have been found on a Scottish mountain.

Members of the public made the discovery on Sron Mhic Gille-Mhartainn in the Monadhliath Mountains near Laggan, Inverness-shire, on Thursday.

Police have established the identity of the man, who was reported missing from the Metropolitan Police area two years ago, but they will not say who he is until next of kin have been informed.

The remains are said to have been on the mountain for a long time.

A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
