A 22-year-old woman last seen alive in Dungannon has been found dead in Galway.

Laura Vizgirdaite went missing earlier this month.

She was last seen in the Far Circular Road area of Dungannon on September 12.

Police issued an appeal stating Ms Vizgirdaite has been missing for a week and that she may have travelled to County Clare.
