Biker's body found four days on

The body of a motorcyclist has been discovered in a remote field four days after he went missing.

The body of Mark David Williams, 38, of Yorkley, Gloucestershire, was found by a local man near the B4235 at Horwick near Chepstow, Monmouthshire.

Gwent Police are treating it as an "unexplained road traffic collision".

Mr Williams's family said he had been killed after "getting his life back on track" following the death of his teenage brother.

Officers say Mr Williams was understood to have been travelling to a building job at Shirenewton, and are appealing for any information.

Police said they believed Mr Williams had travelled from his home to Chepstow to pick up building materials, before setting off for Shirenewton on Saturday, 4 October.

'Difficult period'

Mr Williams' family issued a tribute to him through police.

They said: "Mark was just coming through a very difficult period in his life which included the death of his 16-year-old brother Christopher.

"He was getting his life back on track when he was tragically killed in the motorcycle accident.

"He will be sorely missed by his whole family including his mother Val, dad Malcolm, his older brother Paul and Mark's two daughters Danielle and Kayley."

Mr Williams will be buried with his brother at Chepstow cemetery following a service at St Mary's Church in Chepstow.

The date of the funeral has still to be confirmed.
