Man, 23, who went missing while swimming in the Mersey named by police

A man who went missing while swimming in the Mersey has been named by police after the search for him was suspended.

Haydn Griffiths was last seen while at the Derby Pool, in New Brighton, at around 10.30pm on Tuesday as he went swimming with a friend. The 23-year-old was attempting to swim out to the nearby wind turbines when he disappeared in the water and didn't resurface.

A massive search was launched by the Coastguard and lifeboat volunteers but was called off at around 5pm on Wednesday. Now, Merseyside Police are continuing to carry out enquiries into the disappearance.
