Detectives investigating the discovery of the bodies of two friends in a river have said they are not looking for anyone else over the deaths.

The bodies of Andrew Smith, 40, and Paul Smith, 43, who were not related, were found in the River Lugg in Leominster, Herefordshire, on Saturday.

The two men were last seen in the town on Tuesday night and reported missing the day after, on New Year's Eve.

Post-mortem examinations on the bodies were taking place on Monday.

The men's bodies were recovered from the river by the Severn Area Rescue Association, which had been helping in the search for the men.

Police dog-handlers carried out a search of the area and clothing was found near to the Lugg, by the A49.
