Body of missing Meath man Peter Burns located in Denmark after six-week search

The body of an Irish man who had been missing for over a month in Denmark has been recovered.

Peter Burns, from Dunboyne in Co Meath, went missing in the Danish city of Aarhus on the morning of December 5.

The 29-year-old had been socialising with colleagues in the centre of the city on Saturday night

He was understood to have left the bar at Jægergårdsgade between midnight and 1am and then began walking home in the direction of the harbour.

Peter was staying with his sister Katie but never arrived at her apartment and East Jutland Police received a report that he was missing.

However, an update from Danish police on Monday confirmed the tragic news.

They said: "The 29-year-old man, who disappeared after a city trip in Aarhus in early December, has today been found dead in the harbour at Navitas in Aarhus.

"The relatives have been notified. It was a citizen who at. 13.09 discovered the 29-year-old and called 112.

"We must now clarify the cause of death and have no further information at this time."
