No further action is being taken against a man who was arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman's body was found in the River Severn.

Natalie Dean, 34, from Ford, Shropshire, was found in the water outside Llanidloes, Powys, at 16:00 BST on 28 May last year.

Her family previously said they were "distraught" by their loss and a 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Dyfed-Powys Police said its investigation is now complete and no further action would be taken against the man and the matter will be referred to the coroner.
