Mbl.is sources say that four policemen went onboard the Triton, a Danish coastguard ship heading towards a Greenland trawler called the Polar Nanoq which was turned around on its journey to Greenland and is heading back to Iceland.

Police have confirmed that they have not arrested anyone and nobody has been interrogated as a suspect. 

A video shows Birna bumping into two men on her walk up Laugavegur shopping street and police ask the men to come forward, not as suspects but as witnesses. 

New footage of Birna buying a kebab in the city centre before walking up Laugavegur has also appeared and anyone who saw her at the Ali Baba kebab shop on Ingólfstorg is asked to contact police. 

The Polar Nanoq, which sailed out of Hafnarfjörður harbour early on Saturday morning will arrive back in Iceland tonight. 

Rescue teams have called off the search for Birna Brjánsdóttir until further information in the case appears. 

As reported by Vísir, crew on the Polar Nanoq are shocked and confused by the news from Iceland and decided on their own to sail the ship back to Iceland to "clear things up."

Rumours were rife on Icelandic social media late last night that a body had been found at Hvaleyrarvatn. Police searched the are and nothing was found and they have dispelled it as a rumour. 

A prayer gathering for Birna Brjánsdóttir took place at Hallgrímskirkja church in the centre of Reykjavik for her friends, relatives and the general public.
