Missing dog walker's body found

A body recovered by divers from the Grand Union Canal in Leamington Spa's Old Town has been confirmed as that of a man missing since Saturday.

Wayne Hassell, 37, left his home in Eagle Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, during the afternoon to take his dog for a walk.

His dog was seen later that day wandering about on its own. Mr Hassell's body was found on Tuesday.

Police are investigating but say there is no evidence to suggest foul play.
