Steve Bush's family had been alerted to this disappearance by his girlfriend

A man who went missing in Vietnam amid fears he was kidnapped over a debt has been found dead.

Steve Bush, from Nottinghamshire, had lived in the country for 10 years but vanished last week from the hotel where he was staying.

His family had said they believed he owed rent to the hotel and had received messages suggesting he had been murdered.

His sister Amanda said the news of his death is "devastating".
