A hillwalker who died in the Cairngorms has been named by police.

Graham Connell, 31, from Castleford, West Yorkshire, was found dead yesterday, following a large-scale search for him and five other people who were reported overdue on Sunday afternoon.

The other members in the party were picked up by an RAF rescue helicopter on a hill near Carn Tarsuinn at around 12.10pm. They were not hurt.

The search involved more than 100 people.

Police inquiries are continuing and a report will be submitted to procurator fiscal.
