The funeral of the murdered father of two, John George, has been postponed until further notice, according to his family.
John George's funeral had been scheduled to take place on Friday 24th January and his body had been due to be waked at his mother's home in West Belfast from Monday.
In a brief post on social media, John's sister Courtney shared: "All funeral arrangements cancelled until further notice due to circumstances beyond our control.
"Updated arrangements will follow in due course."
John's body was reportedly flown back from Spain on Thursday where it arrived into Dublin before being driven across the border to Belfast.
Mr George had been on holiday in Alicante when he went missing last month. The 37-year-old dad-of-two from west Belfast was last in touch with his family on December 14. He was reported missing four days later after he failed to board his flight home.
His parents Billy and Sharon, brother Darren, and sisters Courtney and Caitlin, along with up to 50 friends and wider family from Northern Ireland, were involved in the search operation. His body was found last week.
One man has been arrested by Spanish police investigating the murder, however the man was later released on bail by a Spanish judge.
