Following a post-mortem examination, the Police Service of Northern Ireland have confirmed that a body recovered from the Causeway Road area of Bushmills on Sunday, 23rd February is that of 20-year-old Lester McLennan.
Mr McLennan was in Northern Ireland spending time with relatives when, on Friday, November 1, he took a solo bus trip from Belfast to the Giant's Causeway region.
The last time anyone saw Lester was at 2pm that day, when he was chatting with a tour guide on the cliff path close to Lacada Point, just before he headed toward Dunseverick Castle.
He was subsequently reported missing on Saturday, 2nd November 2024.
The Police Service, on behalf of Lester’s family, would like to thank partner agencies and the public for all of their assistance throughout this difficult time with searches and enquiries.
Our thoughts are with Lester’s family at this time, and we express our heartfelt condolences to them.
