Human remains have been discovered in the search for a missing man last seen just after Christmas Day.

Peter Baglin vanished almost 10 weeks ago after going out for an evening walk along the Bridgewater Canal. The 55-year-old great-grandad, from Boothstown, was last seen at the Texaco garage on East Lancashire Road, in Mosley Common, Wigan at around 7.38pm on December 28 last year.

The following morning his phone, hat and headphones were found on the towpath of the canal. Although the human remains have yet to be formally identified, Greater Manchester Police said Peter's next of kin had been informed and specialist officers were continuing to support the family.
