POLICE today appealed for help in tracing a missing man from Oxford.

Kevin Morrison, 38, of Starwort Path, Blackbird Leys, was last seen on Thursday, March 20, at a friend's funeral in Oxford and was reported missing on Saturday.

He is white, 5ft 8in tall, skinny, and was last seen wearing a purple shirt and black trousers.

Paul Garbett, Oxfordshire missing person's co-ordinator, said: "We are becoming increasingly concerned for Kevin's welfare: he was due to go on holiday with friends yesterday. I'd also like to appeal to Kevin directly for him to please get in touch with his family and put their minds at rest.

"Kevin was recently diagnosed with the condition Bells Palsy, which means one side of his face is paralysed and swollen, so he will look slightly different to his photograph."

Mr Garbett can be contacted via the Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. If you do not want to talk to police and do not want to leave your name, call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 11 11.
