A person reported as missing after a house fire earlier this month has been confirmed dead by police.

The blaze occurred at a house in Meidrim, Carmarthenshire on the night of 8 February, after which the Mid and West Wales Fire Service said one person was unaccounted for.

On Thursday, Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that one person died at the scene.

An investigation is underway into the cause of the fire, the force added.

Police said they would work with the fire service and investigators and were "likely to be at the house for several more days".

The force said that when they arrived at the scene earlier this month, "the damage to the property was extensive and it was unsafe to enter immediately".
