Body found in search for missing dad with newborn son
Brandon Parfitt, 28, was reported missing on Sunday evening. A body has been found in the search for missing dad. Brandon Parfitt, 28, was reported missing on Sunday evening. The dad, from Ebbw Vale in Wales, had a newborn son less than two months old. Officers say formal identification of the body is yet to take place - however, Brandon's heartbroken family have been notified. As reported by the Mirror, police also said their "thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time". In a statement on Tuesday evening, a spokesperson for Gwent Police said: "We received a call that the body of a man had been found in Pontygof, Ebbw Vale, on Tuesday 19 August. "Formal identification has yet to take place, however, the family of Brandon Parfitt, have been notified." Brandon's brother Tristan Parfitt and their other siblings had been actively leading a search on social media and said they were becoming increasingly worried for his welfare. Brandon had last been seen in Market Street in Ebbw Vale, Wales on Sunday. It comes as the mum of missing student Jack O'Sullivan has launched a fresh appeal to find him after he "went out for a drink with friends and didn't come home" 18 months ago. Jack, then 23, was last seen at 3.15am on Saturday, March 2, 2024, after a night out at a party in Bristol. Multiple searches and a high-profile campaign have failed to produce a lead, his family say, and they are "no closer" to finding out what happened to him since the day he disappeared. His mother Catherine O'Sullivan, 53, of Flax Bourton, near Bristol, issued a renewed plea. She shared a photo of him and added: "This is my son Jack - He is the most wonderful son, brother, and friend to many. He's a really kind and caring person who always puts others first. "It's approaching 18 months since he was last at home with us. Eighteen months of absolute hell and unimaginable pain without Jack in our lives. "This has been covered by many news and social media outlets. "After a total disaster of an investigation by the police we still have absolutely no answers. We know someone out there knows what has happened to Jack." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Jack is described as 5ft 10in and slim build and has short brown hair, and was wearing a Barbour jacket over a beige wool jumper, with navy chinos and brown leather trainers when he went missing. He'd been on a night out with student friends to the pub before he attended a house party in Hotwells, Bristol. He told his mum he was getting a taxi home around 2am, before leaving the party at around 3am. CCTV footage shows Jack walking around for 30 minutes. At 3.24am he called a friend and, when they rang back 10 minutes later, Jack said "hello" before the call cut out, but officers say his phone remained active in the area until 6.44am.

It comes as a granddaughter blasted council bosses over the state of the cemetery where her family are buried - saying she had to clean the place herself once a month. Ceilidh McPherson is incensed at Glasgow City Council over the state of Sandymount Cemetery, near Barlanark and Springboig, in the east end of the city. She feels that Glasgow City Council"doesn't care" about how the cemetery looks and has been forced to tidy up her grandparents' graves herself. Ceilidh said: "My gran died in 2000 and was buried in Sandymount. At the time they were just getting rid of the grounds keepers so it was spotless. "Growing up, we went every Saturday, and I noticed the lack of grass cutting and care to the cemetery. We recently buried my granda in 2020 there and noticed full-on neglect from then to now. "The graves are sinking and overgrown with weeds and grass. Weeds are so high. I'm 5ft 6 and they're as tall as me nearly. I now go to the graves few times a month to clear what I can. All stones are now falling over you can't tell who's who. "The people that live there are throwing their rubbish onto the gravesites and not caring. I'm absolutely shocked and livid that the council isn't doing anything about it. "We should always respect the dead, they deserve a forever resting place that's well kept. Not a rubbish overgrown pits. Dunbartonshire cares more about its gravesites than Glasgow City Council does."
