Investigating Gardaí say it's likely more charges will be made following the discovery of a body in Glenamaddy last evening.

The body, believed to be that of missing Glenamaddy resident Juris Buls, was removed from the area at lunchtime today and taken to UHG.

State pathologist Michael Curtis is carrying out the post-mortem on the body which has not yet been formally identified.

This morning a 35 year old Latvian man appeared before a special sitting of Tuam district court charged in connection with his disappearance.

Judge Geoffrey Browne refused an application for bail and remanded him in custody to appear before Tuam district court next Tuesday. (26/07)
