Jul 24 2009

A body has been found near a resort in Mexico where a Scottish great-grandmother went missing while on holiday.

Julia Howard, 77, from Edinburgh, vanished from a holiday resort hours after arriving with her family in mid-June.

Mrs Howard's son Henry Harvey said: "We've been told they have found a body and it's been identified as my mum through her jewellery - her rings and her watch."
