Wiltshire missing man Tom Edwards: Police find man's body

A man's body has been found by police officers searching for a Wiltshire 32-year-old who disappeared five days ago.

The family of Tom Edwards, who went missing after a night out in Swindon on Friday, have been informed.

Wiltshire Police said the body of a man had been found close to railway tracks between Chippenham and Bath.

Mr Edwards, from Calne, was given a lift to a bus stop by two police officers after a night out at Rudis bar in Swindon.

However, he did not catch a bus and CCTV footage from Swindon railway station showed Mr Edwards boarding a train heading for Chippenham at 23:21 BST.  He failed to make it home.

Insp Phil Staynings said: "Although formal identification has not yet taken place, we have alerted Mr Edwards' family of this incident. I would ask that Mr Edwards' wife and family are left in private at this time. They have asked that any posters relating to Mr Edwards' disappearance are taken down."
