Gardaí hope DNA will help solve foot mystery

GARDAÍ are to take DNA samples from the families of two men who went missing over 10 years ago to see if they match a body part found in Mayo.

A search of a remote area on the west coast is being carried out after part of a foot, still in its shoe and sock, was discovered by a tourist on Monday evening.

Gardaí are checking missing persons lists and a search is being carried out in the mountainous area of Achill Sound in Mayo.
