Police in Texas say they have found a body in the search for three-year-old Sherin Mathews, who went missing on 7 October.

Her adoptive father, Wesley Mathews, was arrested for child endangerment after telling police he had ordered her outside at 03:00 as punishment.

The Richardson police department said the remains were "most likely" Sherin's.

The girl was adopted from an Indian orphanage two years ago.

Police have not specified how she may have died.
