A man arrested for the murder of John George has been granted bail.

Mr George told those gathered they are determined to bring his son home to claps and cheers, as well as chants of “justice for John”

The family of a west Belfast man feared murdered in Spain say they are returning home on Friday “broken” and expressed frustration over the investigation into his death. A body discovered near the town of Rojales in Alicante on Tuesday has been formally identified as that of 37-year-old John George.

Billy George, whose son John, had been on holiday in Alicante when he went missing last month, said he would have stayed if John's body had not been found.

Dad-of-two John George went missing while in Spain just before Christmas. Also known as John Hardy, the west Belfast man did not board his return flight to Belfast from Alicante airport on December 18 as intended.

John George went missing in Spain on 21 December, and his body was discovered in remote farmland earlier this week.
