Police searching for five young people who disappeared after a night out in Cardiff have found three bodies.

Two others have been taken to hospital with serious injuries following what appears to be a car crash, Gwent Police said.

All five clubgoers had last been seen in Cardiff in the early hours of Saturday.

Three women, Sophie Russon, 20, Eve Smith, 21, and Darcy Ross, 21, had travelled there from Porthcawl.

They had made the trip in a Volkswagen Tiguan with two men, Rafel Jeanne, 24, and Shane Loughlin, 32, both from Cardiff, who were also reported as missing.

Following a search, police said the VW Tiguan had been recovered just after midnight in the St Mellons area of Cardiff.
