Michael Gaine, 56, has been missing for more than eight weeks

Searches are continuing at an Irish farm where partial human remains were found.

The discovery on Friday was made almost two months after County Kerry farmer, Michael Gaine, went missing.

Police are continuing to question a man in his 50s who was arrested on Monday on suspicion of murdering the 56 year old.

A process to formally identify the partial human remains is under way.

The ongoing search at the farm near Kenmare is being led by specialist teams.

Gardaí (Irish police) are being supported by an engineering specialist search team from the Irish Defence Forces.

Mr Gaine, a sheep and cattle farmer, was reported missing from his home on Friday 21 March. He was last seen in Kenmare the previous day.

It was initially treated as a missing persons case before being upgraded to a homicide on 29 April.
