Body found in search for 37-year-old Paria Veisi as man, 41, is charged with murder
The body of missing Paria Veisi has been found - as two people are charged in connection with her disappearance last week. South Wales Police said in a statement today that the 37-year-old's body was discovered at an address in Penylan, Cardiff. Veisi, who vanished last weekend, was last seen leaving her place of work in the Canton area of the Welsh capital. She was caught on CCTV driving her black Mercedes GLC 220, which was later found a couple of miles away on Dorchester Avenue, Penylan, on Tuesday evening. Police put out a plea for information on the whereabouts of Paria on Wednesday, saying they had arrested two people believed to be known to her in connection with her disappearance. The force said her disappearance was totally out of character and were concerned for her welfare. A 41-year-old man from Penylan has been charged with her murder, preventing lawful and decent burial of a dead body and assaulting a person occasioning them actual bodily harm. A 48-year-old woman from London has been charged with preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body and conspiring to pervert the course of justice. The pair appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Saturday. Both have been remanded in custody and are scheduled to appear at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday April 22. Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, said: 'This brings our search for Paria to a sad and tragic end. 'Paria's family, all those who knew her, and those in her local community, will be deeply saddened and shocked by these latest developments. Family liaison officers are continuing to support Paria's family. 'I would like to thank all those who have come forward so far with information since our appeal was launched. 'There will continue to be detectives and crime scene investigators working in the Penylan area over the next week, and I would encourage anyone with any information to talk to officers at the scene or to get in touch'.

Husband, 41, accused of murdering businesswoman wife, 37, before her body was found in back garden appears in court
A husband, accused of murdering his wife after a body was found in their back garden, has appeared in court. Alireza Askari, 41, is accused of murdering Paria Veisi, 37, whose body was later found at a property in the Penylan area of Cardiff. Askari is also accused of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body and assaulting a person occasioning them actual bodily harm. He appeared at Cardiff Crown Court alongside Maryam Delavary, 48, from White City Estate in west London. She is accused of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body and conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Glamorous company director Paria Veisi - described as having 'many smiles' - vanished just over a week ago after leaving her office. Her £40,000 Mercedes was later found in a luxury street of large houses but with no sign of Paria. Her body was later found by police after making two arrests. Officers have set up tents to search a suburban garden in Penylan, Cardiff. The pair, both wearing grey tracksuits, were joined in the dock by an interpreter and spoke only to confirm their names and addresses. The court heard a psychiatric report had been issued into Askari's mental health and the pair will return for a further hearing in May. Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, the Recorder of Cardiff, fixed a four-week trial beginning on October 6. Police say Paria left her work in Cathays, Cardiff, at 3pm on Saturday. Her black Mercedes GLC 220 was found a mile away in the street of large Edwardian houses in Dorchester Avenue, Penylan, in the Welsh capital. Police forensic teams were later spotted setting up large white tents on a neighbouring road. Speaking after the charges were issued, Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, said: 'This brings our search for Paria to a sad and tragic end. Paria's family, all those who knew her, and those in her local community, will be deeply saddened and shocked by these latest developments. Family liaison officers are continuing to support Paria's family'. 'I would like to thank all those who have come forward so far with information since our appeal was launched.' 'There will continue to be detectives and crime scene investigators working in the Penylan area over the next week, and I would encourage anyone with any information to talk to officers at the scene or to get in touch.' An alert was sparked after Paria's disappearance was described as 'totally out of character'. She was described as having long, curly, black hair. The 37-year-old was last seen wearing a black zip-up gym top over a red top, black trousers, and trainers. A memorial service to Paria is set to take place at Cardiff Bay's iconic Norwegian Church tomorrow night. A notice inviting people to the service reads: 'With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, we invite you to a memorial gathering in honour of the kindness, selflessness, and the many smiles Paria Veisi shared throughout her life. 'Her memory lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. We warmly welcome you to join us in remembering and celebrating Paria's life.
