Frogmen have resumed diving in the River Wharfe in search of the body of honeymooner Barry Collett who is believed to have drowned with his new wife Lynn more than two weeks ago.

Police divers from North Yorkshire combed the stretch of river from the Strid at Bolton Abbey, where 29-year-old Mr Collett's body was seen on Monday August 17, as far as Addingham, where Lynn's body was recovered ten days ago.

It was the second time divers had searched the four-mile section of the river since the couple were reported missing only a day after arriving at their hideaway honeymoon cottage at Bolton Abbey.

They had been married on Saturday August 14 in Hampshire and had driven up to North Yorkshire.

A North Yorkshire police spokesman said: "We have resumed the search from the Strid to Addingham and our colleagues in West Yorkshire are due to search the river downstream from Addingham.''

An inquest has been opened and adjourned into the death of Lynn Collett, who was 26 two days after she went missing. A police spokesman said her death was consistent with drowning and there were no suspicious circumstances.
