THE family of a new father who vanished eight months ago say they are delighted to have him home.

Peter Weber, aged 26, disappeared from his home in New Lane, Breightmet, in May last year - eight days before his baby daughter was born. This week he was reunited with his sister Jackie Blears and came back to live in Bolton but he is yet to see his daughter Megan.

Mr Weber said he left town because he was under a lot of family pressure but now he is back he is keen to see his new daughter.

Mr Weber's relationship with Megan's mother has broken down so now he plans to apply to the court for legal access.
