Police searching a rubbish dump for a missing workman said tonight they had found a body.

David Leyland, a site supervisor employed at the Biffo Waste site in Mallusk, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, was last seen yesterday afternoon working near a piece of machinery.

The alarm was raised when he failed to clock off later in the day.

A large search operation involved sniffer dogs and a PSNI helicopter.

Conditions on the site were more treacherous than normal because of flooding caused by recent heavy rainfall.

Mr Leyland, who had worked on the site since he was 17, had recently got married.
