POLICE who have been searching for a missing student are trying to identify a man's body found at St Margaret's Bay, near Dover.

Extensive searches have been carried out since property belonging to 18-year-old Adeel Javaid was found near the Coastguard Station at Langdon Cliffs a week ago.

Adeel had been reported missing from his home in Sutton in Surrey.

A man's body was washed up at St Margaret's Bay at the weekend and police are now trying to establish whether it is that of the missing man.
