Missing Fermanagh (NI) teenager Daniel Mohan (16) found dead

Police recover body of Fermanagh teenager Daniel Mohan

Police searching for a teenager missing from his home for a week have recovered his body from Lough Erne.



Sixteen-year-old Daniel Mohan from Enniskillen was due to go to a friend's house in the town last week but never arrived.

Earlier on Friday, his mother, Tracy McMulkin, told the BBC that she "feared the worst" after police began to drag part of the lough.

She also said that she believed Daniel had recently begun taking mephedrone.

His body was recovered from Lough Erne at about 1515 BST on Friday.

Police have said they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death and that a post-mortem examination is expected to take place.

RIP Daniel. Such a sad loss.

RIP Daniel x

I'm so sorry about poor Daniel's death and I know how devastated his family must be. A terrible tragedy.

However, one important thing in this case: the PSNI had been searching buildings around the lough, outbuildings, etc. but then brought in victim recovery dogs (like Eddie, though I don't know if he was one of them or not). The dog(s) indicated there was a body in the water at a specific part of the lough; police dragged the lough at this part and found poor Daniel's body.

So much for 'unreliable' dogs.

(The dogs aren't mentioned in the article on the UTV website, but they are mentioned on the news bulletin and this can be heard on the UTV Player - link on the website at http://www.u.tv/news)

I think I'll post this in the Madeleine forum also, as the sheer reliability of this type of dog is very important in that particular case.
