Police believe they have found a body inside a sunken fishing trawler on the seabed off Canterbury.
Three men - Jared Reese Husband, 47, Paul Russell Bennett, 35, and Terry Donald Booth, 55 - have been missing since the FV Jubilee sank after its crew sent out a distress call during a "brutal" storm last Sunday.
Police confirmed this afternoon that they had discovered the boat's resting place on the ocean floor.
The Royal New Zealand Navy's operational diving team and its remote-operated vehicle (ROV) had located what was believed to be a body inside the vessel.
