Another Body Found In Bridgend

Another body of a young person has been found in Bridgend, South Wales.

The body of 16-year-old Jenna Parry was found in woodland near the village of Cefn Cribwr early on Tuesday morning.

The death is the 17th suspected suicide in the area and follows the deaths of two cousins last week in apparently unconnected incidents.

Nathaniel Pritchard, 15, died last week, while his 20-year-old cousin Kelly Stephenson, 20, died on holiday the following day. The pair lived on the same street.

Police have dismissed reports that the deaths are linked. However, they were due to make a "significant announcement" at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
