A BODY found in a river in Great Yarmouth has been identified as that of missing man, Derick Tempest.

A post mortem examination conducted this afternoon was unable to establish a cause of death due the circumstances in which the body was found.

A member of the public had made the discovery at the isolated beauty spot on the marshes near Yarmouth at about 5pm on Friday.

Father-of-three Mr Tempest, 30, of Nottingham Way, had last been seen on October 28 walking along the town’s Blackfriars Road towards Hall’s Garage in nearby Camden Place.
