THE body of a man has been found in the river Wye.

Police searching for 33-year-old Rok Simsic carried out searches of the river and yesterday a body was recovered from the water. They have not said where.

The family of Mr Simsic has been informed, but formal identification has yet to be carried out.

Mr Simsic was last seen in Owens Cross, near Ross-on-Wye, on Thursday, November  5.

He had told friends he was going wild camping in Symonds Yat.

He was due to return to work a few days later, but has not been seen since.
