The body of a Briton believed to be that of a Briton who went missing after calling his family on Christmas Day has been found in Malaysia.
Mark Counsell, 31, from Pontypool, was traveling in South East Asia when he disappeared after calling his family to wish them a happy holiday.
Gwent Police issued an appeal against Counsell earlier this week and it is believed he was in Thailand or the Kuala Lumpur area of Malaysia at the time.
A police spokesman said on Thursday: “We have received reports that police in Malaysia discovered the body of a man on Wednesday, January 7.
“Formal identification has not yet taken place but the family of missing man Mark Counsell have been informed.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious.
“Our thoughts are with Mark’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
