A body believed to be that of a Welsh man who was reported missing after calling his family on Christmas Day has been found in Malaysia.

Mark Counsell, 31, from Pontypool, Torfaen, was travelling in south-east Asia but disappeared after calling his family to wish them a happy holiday.

A Gwent Police spokesperson said: “We received a report that a body of a man had been found by Malaysian police on Wednesday 7 January.

“Formal identification has not yet taken place, but the family of missing man Mark Counsell have been informed.”

The force said the death was not being treated as suspicious.

“Our thoughts are with Mark’s family and friends at this difficult time,” they added.

Gwent Police had issued an appeal earlier this week for the missing man, who was believed to be in either Thailand or the Kuala Lumpur area of Malaysia.
