Body recovered off Anglesey coast near Malltraeth

The body of man has been recovered from the sea off Anglesey by coastguards, say police.

North Wales Police said the body was spotted in water a quarter of a mile from Malltraeth on Wednesday afternoon, and brought ashore by the RNLI's Trearddur Bay inshore lifeboat.

Rescuers said the discovery is unconnected to an earlier search for a missing 61-year-old Conwy man.

Police said efforts were now being made to identify the person.

Lifeboat crews were called out to assist in recovering the body at 16:00 BST on Wednesday.

However, the incident is not being linked to the continuing search for Roger Wilyman, who was last seen leaving a Rhos-on-Sea restaurant bar on 18 May.

A car belonging to Mr Wilyman, who is from Llanfair Talhaiarn in Conwy, was later found at Trearddur Bay on Anglesey.
