In a tragic turn of events, a memorial service is set to take place for Paria Veisi, a Cardiff woman whose untimely death has become the focus of a murder investigation. The body of Paria Veisi was discovered by South Wales Police at a residential property in Penylan, Cardiff, following her disappearance and a subsequent missing persons’ appeal. The 31-year-old, who resided in Cathays, was reported missing on April 13, after she was last seen leaving her workplace in Canton at around 3 pm on April 12. Her sudden disappearance was considered highly unusual, leading to extensive search efforts and a public plea for information.

After thorough investigations, CCTV footage confirmed that Paria had left the Canton area driving her black Mercedes GLC 220. Sadly, the search for Paria ended when her body was found by the South Wales Police. Consequently, a memorial service has been arranged in her honour, scheduled for Wednesday, April 23, from 5 pm to 7 pm, at Bay, Norwegian Church Arts Centre Harbour Dr, Cardiff, CF10 4PA. An official notice has been issued inviting individuals to join the gathering to celebrate Paria’s life and remember her for the kindness, selflessness, and warmth she shared with those around her.
