The man whose body was found on a Snowdonia mountain has been named.

Walkers found the remains of Wayne Edward Mitchell on Cadair Idris last month.

Police used DNA to confirm the identity of the 40-year-old, from Blaenau Ffestiniog, after the discovery on the mountain on 12 June.

Members of the Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team recovered the remains, aided by a Sea King helicopter from RAF Valley after the walkers found the man’s body in a craggy area between the 893m (2,930ft) summit and Llyn y Gadair.

An inquest into Mr Mitchell’s death was opened and adjourned.
