A body has been found in the search for a missing student in Abbey Caves in Whangarei.
Specialist equipment brought up from Auckland allowed the search to continue last night.
A formal identification process will be carried out, with cordons in place for a routine scene examination.
Whangārei Mayor Vince Cocurullo told Kate Hawkesby they expect a review of the doomed school trip to be carried out.
He says as the owner of the caves, they will be involved with the review and other processes.
