Residents desperately searching for a 14-year-old schoolgirl revealed they missed finding her body just 500 yards from her home – because it had been purposely ‘hidden’ in dense undergrowth.
A search team looking for Lilly Jones say they had scoured Duffryn Park in her hometown of Blaina, Gwent, for any signs of the teenager who was missing since Saturday with her phone switched off, for more than 48 hours without success.

A 14-year-old boy has since been arrested on suspicion
