Body found in search for missing Shropshire pensioner
Police searching for a missing Shropshire pensioner have found the body of a woman.
The woman was found dead in water near Munslow, in the south of the county, by West Mercia Police officers searching for Anne Hughes.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
Ms Hughes, aged 70, went missing from her home in Munslow, near Craven Arms, yesterday morning.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious at this time.
"Thank you to everyone who shared our appeal."
