The disappearance of a businesswoman who vanished shortly after leaving work in Cardiff is now being treated as a murder investigation.
Paria Veisi, 37, was last seen in the Canton area of the city at around 3pm on Saturday, April 12.
South Wales Police issued an appeal for information, with Paria’s black Mercedes GLC 200 found empty and two people known to her arrested in connection with her disappearance.
Confirming the missing person case is now a murder investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell said: ‘I currently have no proof that Paria is alive.
‘Her family and friends are extremely concerned that they have not heard from her which is totally out of character.
‘Paria’s family have been informed and we are keeping them updated.
‘We have two people in custody, and at this stage we are not looking for anybody else in connection with this investigation.
‘Our investigation remains focused on Paria’s movements after she left work in the Canton area on Saturday April 12.
‘Extensive CCTV and house-to-house inquiries are being carried out by a team of officers and I am appealing for anybody who has information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to make contact.’
A 41-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman, who are both known to Ms Veisi, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody.
