Man in court after series of hit and runs in Cardiff
A man is due in court this morning charged with murder and 13 counts of attempted murder after a series of hit and runs in Cardiff. Police have not named the 31-year-old who 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, 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 on Friday afternoon. Catrin Evans of the Crown Prosecution Service said:
"With legal proceedings 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 ask that nothing is placed in the public domain that may undermine this."
