Body Found in Search For Missing Student

Police searching for a student missing since January have found a body in woodland.

David O'Halloran, 18, disappeared after a night out with friends in Stirling three months ago. 

The maths student was last spotted crossing Henderson Street in nearby Bridge of Allan in the early hours of January 18. A body was found in woods by the town at about 3.15pm yesterday. 

A police spokesman said: ``The Forth Valley Division of Police Scotland can confirm that the body of a male was discovered today in woodland above Bridge of Allan. 

``A post-mortem examination will now take place. We are in the early stages of this inquiry and no further comment will be made until the body is identified.''
