Website launched to help find Martin Kelly

The family of a missing Holywood man have launched a website to try to encourage anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.

Martin Kelly, 21, was last seen at around 7.10pm on New Year's day after spending the afternoon with friends in Pat's Bar in the docklands area of Belfast.

Mr Kelly's family and friends have been outside Belfast City Hall this afternoon handing out leaflets and posters containing the new website address.

The Kelly family have criticised police for not doing enough to find Martin.

Since his disappearance, hundreds of leaflets have been handed out outside Belfast City Hall and the Odyssey arena, and posters have been placed all over the city in a bid to trigger someone's memory about anything they may know.

On Sunday, 100 yellow balloons were released before a major search of the docklands and the east Belfast area was carried out.
