A housing association worker has died in hospital following a car crash in south Wales, prompting a murder charge against a 61-year-old man.
Eleanor Barnfield, aged 47, was taken to hospital after her vehicle struck a wall on Coity Road in Bridgend on Monday afternoon.
Police said she had received puncture wounds that were not caused by the collision.
Clifford Foster, 61, from Bridgend, faces a murder charge connected with Barnfield’s death.
He is scheduled to appear before Newport Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
South Wales Police stated that the case was not being treated as a domestic incident.
The force also asked members of the public to avoid speculation about the circumstances while the court proceedings were under way.
Senior Investigating Officer Claire Lamerton, of South Wales Police, said the thoughts of the investigation team remained with Barnfield’s loved ones during what she described as a devastating period.
She added that specialist officers were continuing to provide support to those affected.
