Police in England believe they may have found the remains of an Irish man who disappeared there 20 years ago.

Hugh Toner from Newry, Co Down walked out of a hospital in 1994 dressed only in a vest and pyjama bottoms.

It is thought a body found on Saddleworth Moor in Yorkshire may be that of Mr Toner.

His son Sean has given a DNA sample to police as they try to identify the remains: “it’s hard to explain you know, you do feel very emotional about it.

“Part of you wants it to be him and part of you doesn’t.”
