Body found in Cardiff in search for missing man Jamie Moreno

A body has been found in Cardiff in the search for Jamie Moreno.

South Wales Police were called at 10:42am on Sunday 12 March following the discovery by a community search party looking for the long-term missing man.

The force posted a statement on social media, saying the body was found "in woodland in Pentwyn Cardiff".

It added: "Formal identification of the body has yet not been carried out as enquiries are ongoing at the scene.

"The family of Jamie Moreno are being supported by specialist officers at this time."

Jamie Moreno, 48 at the time of his disappearance, left his home in the Roath, Cardiff, around lunchtime on Monday 23 March 2020 and was last seen by a friend in Llanedeyrn later that afternoon.

On Sunday afternoon, a police cordon was in place across a path leading to woodland near Circle Way East, Llanedeyrn.

Four police vehicles were present and forensics officers were seen working at the location.

A collection of floral tributes have been left near the scene.

Last month, Mr Moreno's sister, Nilsa, spoke about her brother and the circumstances of his disappearance, describing how he was struggling to cope with the death of their mother.
