The father of murdered schoolgirl April Jones has died at the age of 56 - nearly 13 years after his five-year-old daughter was snatched from outside their home.
Paul Jones, who previously suffered from encephalitis - a serious condition that causes swelling the brain, passed away yesterday morning.
It is believed he was being cared for at a specialist home in Swansea after the illness damaged his memory in 2018.
April, five, was kidnapped while she played on her bike in Machynlleth, mid Wales, before being murdered by paedophile Mark Bridger in October 2012.
Bridger refused to tell police what he had done with the youngster's body – although officers did recover fragments of her skull from his fireplace.
