Body of Co Fermanagh angler found
The body of an angler who went missing on a Co Fermanagh lough last Monday has been recovered.
Gordon Duncan, 53, from Enniskillen, was found in Loch Erne close to Bellanaleck by members of the Boyne Fisheries Rescue on Sunday.
The father-of-three was last seen fishing from a dinghy on Upper Lough Erne on Monday. Police said that a man had been seen fishing from the dinghy at around lunchtime the same day but visitors to the area later contacted police when they saw the dinghy empty and drifting.
It was later found drifting near Cleenish Island about 3.15pm with a rod and other belongings still on board.
