Tribute to 'kind, genuine soul' whose body was found in River Tawe on Christmas Day

Tributes have been paid to a man whose body was found in the River Tawe on Christmas Day after a car entered the water. The bodies of Jay Kyle Jenkins and Rachel Curtis, both 36, were found after emergency services received reports of a vehicle entering the river at Swansea in the early hours of December 25.

Police issued the family tribute to Jay on Thursday, December 29, a day after the tribute to Rachel. Their bodies were found nearby after emergency services were called at around 3.05am on Christmas Day following reports that a car had gone into the River Tawe at New Cut Road. A black Mini John Cooper Works was fully submerged in the river.

Rachel's family, of Bonymaen, had paid tribute to her, saying she was a "funny, intelligent and unique person," who will be missed by "everyone who knew her, especially her 14 year old son. “ You can read the full tribute to Rachel here.
