POLICE who have been investigating the disappearance of a severly disabled Redditch man missing since Friday say they have found a body.

The body was found yesterday afternoon at a property in the Church Hill area of the town, and officers cordoned off the immediate area.

A post mortem is under way to establish the cause of death and arrangements are being made for formal identification.

James Hughes and his mother Heather Wardle went missing on Friday. The mother-of-four's body was found in Monday near her home with a ligature around her neck.

Two men have been arrested by officers on suspicion of the murder of James Hughes and are currently helping police with their inquiries at Kidderminster and Redditch police stations.
