Investigators believe they've found a fishing boat which vanished in North Wales with three of its crew.

It went missing in January with Carl McGrath, 34, Ross Ballantine 39, and Alan Minard, 20, on board.

The men's bodies were recovered near the Wirral and Blackpool coastlines almost two months later.

A sunken vessel's now been discovered - just two miles from the coast in Conway.

The discovery comes after the Welsh Government Fisheries Patrol Vessel, Rhodri Morgan, joined the search for the Nicola Faith last week.

Investigation and recovery works continue.
