Two leg bones found in lake in Monaghan

Two human leg bones have been found in a lake in Monaghan as part of the search for the remains of convicted rapist James Nolan.

The discovery was made at Lough Na Glack near Carrickmacross after following an extensive search which has lasted three days.

The local soroner and the State pathologist have been notified. The remains have yet to be identified and inquiries are ongoing and will move onto a DNA analysis to determine if they belong to the 46-year-old, who had served jail sentences for rape and burglary.
