Three people have been named locally by their heartbroken loved ones as those who died in a crash in Cardiff. Police were searching for five people who disappeared after a night out in Newport and found three of them dead and two seriously injured. The three women and two men had last been seen in Cardiff in the early hours of Saturday.
Their families and friends issued a number of appeals over the weekend after getting increasingly concerned as time went by without them having had any contact from any of those missing. One family member said that it was "unusual" for them not to have been in touch. Police confirmed their worst fears in the early hours of Monday morning when they confirmed the car they had been travelling in had been found crashed off the A48 near St Mellons. The A48 has been closed in both directions.
Here are the facts released so far on this tragedy.
