The devastated sister of a man missing for nearly a month in Spain is “heartbroken” as police abroad confirmed a body was found - and a murder probe was launched. John George, also known as John Hardy, was reported missing on December 18 when he missed his flight home to spend the festive season with his two sons, 13 and six. His family launched a huge search to find the 37-year-old, as they travelled to the region to try to find him and were joined by friends and police from Northern Ireland.

Tragically, the family’s lawyer has confirmed a body was found on Tuesday. John’s sister Courtney said in a brief update: “My body is numb and my heart is broken. I don't mean to be rude. I will get back to everyone soon. Right now I'm processing what's going on.”.

The family's lawyer KRW Law said: “We can confirm the father of Mr George contacted us today shortly after 5pm [Jan 7] to confirm Spanish police told him they had recovered his son's remains. Mr Billy George was told his son's body was now in a morgue awaiting formal identification.

"The family are both distressed but also relieved at this latest news. It brings to an end an extremely tortuous search process for the body. The family want to thank all who have helped and supported them over the last number of days. They now respectfully ask for some privacy to allow them both time and space to engage on the next harrowing stages on what is now a formalised murder investigation.".
