Fears mother and daughter drowned

A major search operation was underway last night amidst fears that a mother and daughter have been drowned.

An operation was launched after a passerby found a woman’s body at Roxstown Harbour close to Malin, Co Donegal, just before 6.30pm.

The woman’s car was found near the shoreline. It is believed she walked out to a causeway at low tide and was then cut off when the high tide came in.
