A 40-year-old British tourist went missing in the southern Turkish province of Antalya two days ago.

Dean Grey was on vacation with his wife Louise Helena in the Alanya district, a popular vacation spot for foreign tourists.

He left the house where the couple was staying in the early hours of Saturday, telling his wife that he would go to Manavgat, another district of Antalya.

His wife notified local gendarmerie forces when he did not return hours later. Gendarmerie forces have launched an investigation into Grey's disappearance.
