Two men, aged 43 and 51, were arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder and burglary as part of an investigation into the disappearance of 58-year-old Richard Dyson, from Barnsley, who has not been seen since November 2019.

Richard was last seen by his 20-year-old daughter Bethany, from Catcliffe, Rotherham, on Friday, November 15 2019 and was reported missing on Monday, November 25 after he failed to turn up for their next arranged meeting.
