Police divers recover items from the missing fishing boat Kilda off Lewis as the search for two crew goes on

Norman 'Tam' Murray, 40, and Murdo Morrison, 23, are still unaccounted for ten days after the Kilda vanished near Port of Ness on 13 October. Their crewmate Douglas Craigie, 49, was pulled from the sea at around 2.45am the next morning. Police Scotland's marine and dive unit found the items at an area of interest between Port of Ness and the Butt of Lewis. The spot is believed to be where the Kilda was last known to be fishing.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch exclusion zone was due to lift at 11.59pm on Thursday.

Inspector Neil Taylor warned locals: 'Please do not attempt to carry out searches.'

A GoFundMe for the families has raised more than £148,000, beating its £110,000 target.
