Police searching for a missing couple whose car was found washed up on a beach have discovered the bodies of a man and a woman.
James and Susan Kenneavy's Ford Kuga was found empty on Drummore beach near Stranraer in the southwest of Scotland on Thursday morning.
Heavy rain had caused flooding on the Drummore coastal road the day before the couple went missing.
Officers said the body of a woman was discovered at the edge of the water in Port William, Newton Stewart, at about 8.15am on Saturday.
About 30 minutes later, police found the body of a man nearby.
Police Scotland 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."
