Body found during search for missing UDA man

POLICE hunting for missing loyalist Alan McCullough found a body on the outskirts of north Belfast yesterday.

The find was made outside Mallusk, Co Antrim, after workmen tipped off police that they had spotted what appeared to be a body in a shallow grave. Police later confirmed they had found a body.

Police have been searching for the 21-year-old for over a week after he was driven away from his home in the company of senior members of the Ulster Defence Association and expressed fears he had been murdered by the UDA.
