South Wales Police's Det Ch Insp Mark Lewis said: "This is clearly a shocking and upsetting incident for the community of Glyncoch and the wider Pontypridd area.

"Our thoughts are with Steven's family and friends at this very difficult time."

Det Ch Insp Lewis said officers were still trying to locate the movements of Mr Davies between 1 and 15 June and believed he had spent some time in Rhydfelin.
