Body Washes Up On Suffolk Beach

A body found on a Suffolk beach might that be that of an Albanian man who jumped from a ferry while being deported.

According to a report by the BBC, the body had been in the water "for some time" before it washed ashore between a leisure centre and Manning's Amuseuments at Felixstowe.

A major search operation was launched last month following reports that two people had jumped from a ferry.

It was later established that two men being deported from the UK had gone missing from the boat.

Police are working to establish the identity of the body that washed up at about 12:30 today (Thursday).
