Family seeks closure after skull is found

A FISHERMAN friend of two brothers who died when their boat sank in the North Sea more then two-and-a-half years ago has netted a small piece of skull bone belonging to one of the missing men.

Brothers Brian Allison and Robert Temple went missing in November 2004 when their vessel, the Jann Denise II, sank off the coast near Tynemouth.

The wreckage was discovered but no trace was ever found of the two fishermen.
