POLICE have found a body near Banbury believed to be that of a man who disappeared five days ago. 

Officers combed through woodland in the village of Tadmarton this morning and made the discovery, which is thought to be the body of 38-year-old Adam Standing who went missing on Sunday evening.

The force is explaining it as an "unexplained death" but said it does not believe there were any suspicious circumstances.

A file is being prepared for the coroner and Mr Standing's next of kin have been informed.

Earlier this week, Mr Standing's partner issued a heartfelt plea for Mr Standing to come home.
