Man in court over Cardiff hit and run attacks that killed one person and injured several
A man will appear in court today charged with murder and 13 counts of
attempted murder after a series of hit and runs in Cardiff.
The 31-year-old, who police have not named, is also charged with four
counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and dangerous driving.
He will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court this morning accused
of murdering Karina Menzies, 31, who was killed when she was hit by a white Iveco van outside Ely Fire Station.
More than a dozen people were injured in the crashes after the
first incident was reported in Crossways Road in Ely at 3.30pm on
Friday.
Two of the injured adults were left in a critical condition and
five children also received treatment after the driver of the white van
brought bloodshed to the streets of the Welsh capital.
Catrin Evans, head of complex casework unit for the Crown
Prosecution Service, Wales said yesterday: "With legal proceedings now
under way, I would like to stress that the defendant retains the right
to a fair trial.
"It is important that the criminal justice process is allowed to
run its course without hindrance and I would therefore ask that nothing
is placed in the public domain that may undermine this."
