A TREDEGAR woman, reported missing to police last week, has been found dead.

The body of Margaret Claire Evans, 35, was discovered on Sunday on the riverbank near Lindsay Gardens in Tredegar.

Police said her death is not believed to be suspicious. Ms Evans was reported missing after last being seen in North Avenue, Ashvale, last Thursday where she had been dropped off.

She walked up and down North Avenue before going past Ashvale shops towards the Crown roundabout just prior to the A465.
