Body Of Young Boy Washed Ashore

The body of a young boy, thought to be around six years old, has washed up on a beach near the Trafalgar lighthouse at Barbate near Cadiz.  It is believed that the boy may have been a migrant travelling to Spain.

Investigation

An investigation is now underway to try and identify the child, and discover if there is a connection with other bodies which have been washed up recently.  These include the bodies of three men near Algeciras, and the bodies of a man and woman near Tarifa.  It is thought that the deceased were immigrants travelling to Spain from Africa.
