Body found in search for Dorset boys
Dorset police have confirmed today that a body has been found in the search for two boys missing since they were swept off a cliff last week.
Charlie Morrell, 15, and his friend Mathew Myburgh, 16, were swept into the sea off Lulworth Cove in Dorset on Thursday.
The body was discovered by a local man out walking on the beach at Lulworth Cove.
A formal identification has yet to be carried out, but police said that they believe it is one of the missing boys.
A major search operation involving coastguard and police helicopters, lifeboats and on-shore rescue teams failed to locate the boys although a number of items of clothing thought to belong to them were recovered.
The group of three teenagers on a fishing trip had been climbing cliffs near Lulworth Cove around the west point towards Stair Hole, when two of the boys were swept into the sea by a wave.
After entering the water to try and rescue his friends, the third boy raced to a nearby hotel to raise the alarm.
Specialist police diving teams were also called in to search the area near to the cove where the boys entered the water.
