Police are trying to identify a man whose body was recovered in fishing nets off the Isle of Man.

The corpse which was wearing blue overalls, was discovered in a prawn haul late on Monday night.

The trawler The Elegance, which is based in Co Down, was in Northern Irish waters off the coast of The Isle of Man.

The boat’s tracking system will ensure investigators know the route it took.

It’s hoped this will help establish where the man got into the water.
