Missing April: Mum makes emotional appeal

Report by Katie Lamborn

The mother of April Jones, Coral, has made an emotional appeal for information after her the five-year-old went missing on Monday night.

Coral broke down in tears as she said: "There must be someone out there who know where she is

"We are desperate for news... Please, please help find her."

Earlier on, Dyfed Powys Police issued a picture of the 46-year-old man they have arrested on suspicion of her abduction.

Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan, from Dyfed Powys Police, said he was confirming Mark Bridger's identity to end speculation but stressed that he was just one of several lines of inquiry.

He appealed for witnesses who may have seen Mr Bridger between Monday evening when April disappeared, and Tuesday afternoon when he was arrested, or his Land Rover Discovery 4x4 vehicle, registration number L503 MEP.

Five-year-old April was abducted from the Mid Wales town of Machynlleth at around 7pm on Monday.
