A MURDER investigation has been launched after a businesswoman vanished in Cardiff shortly after leaving work.
Paria Veisi, 37, was last seen on Saturday April 12 and is yet to be found – with cops now saying they have “no proof” she is alive.
A major crime team for South Wales Police are leading the case as they announced two people both known to Ms Veisi have been arrested.
A 41-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman have both been detained on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody.
Officers confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, the senior investigating officer, said: “I can confirm that the investigation into the disappearance of Paria Veisi is now a murder investigation.
“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.”;
The 37-year-old was last seen wearing a black zip-up gym top over a red top, black trousers, and trainers.
Police found Paria's car yesterday days after her mysterious disappearance.
