Police searching for James and Susan Kenneavy, whose car was found washed up on a beach in south west Scotland in bad weather, have found the bodies of a man and a woman.

The couple's Ford Kuga was found empty on Drummore beach near Stranraer in south-west Scotland on Thursday morning, sparking a major search.

Police Scotland said the body of a woman was found at the edge of the water in Port William, Newton Stewart, in Dumfries and Galloway, at around 8.15am on Saturday.

A man's body was found nearby a short time later.

In a statement, the force said: Although formal identification has still to take place, it is believed to be the missing couple and their next of kin has been informed.

A full report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Our thoughts are with their family at this time.''
