The South Wales Police have made a heartbreaking discovery as they found the body of missing Cardiff woman, Paria Veisi, at a residential property in Penylan, Cardiff. The search for the 31-year-old woman began after she was reported missing on April 13. Paria, who lived in Cathays, was last seen leaving her workplace in Canton on April 12. The police described her disappearance as “totally out of character,” leading to a widespread search and public appeal.
The investigation took a tragic turn when detectives located her body at an address in Penylan. A 41-year-old man from Penylan has been charged with her murder, preventing the lawful burial of a dead body, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Additionally, a 48-year-old woman from Australia Road in London has been charged with preventing a lawful burial of a dead body and conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Both suspects appeared before Cardiff Magistrates’ Court and have been remanded in custody to appear at Cardiff Crown Court.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, the Senior Investigating Officer, expressed the sorrowful conclusion of the search for Paria. He acknowledged the profound impact this news would have on Paria’s family, friends, and the local community.
