Body of a woman found in searches at the Skye Bridge

A body of a woman has been recovered during a search at the Skye Bridge.

Officers had earlier been involved in searches with the Coastguard after a car was found on the summit of the bridge.

An appeal was issued to members of the public this morning to help trace 38-year-old woman Zsuzsanna Kovacs.

A police spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that the body of a woman has been recovered during searches at Skye Bridge today.

“The family of Zsuzsanna Kovacs has been informed however formal identification has yet to take place.

“We would like to thank everyone who shared our appeal for information today and to all those assisted with the search.

“Our thoughts are with the family of Zsuzsanna at this very sad time.”
