A woman has appeared in court charged with murdering a man found dead at a house in Bradford.

The man, named in court as David Hart, was discovered at a property in Shetland Close on Tuesday.

Susan Poole, 52, of Shetland Close, appeared at the city's magistrates' court on Friday charged with murder.

She spoke only to confirm her name, address and date of birth before being remanded into custody to appear at Bradford Crown Court on 22 April.

West Yorkshire Police said a 26-year-old man who was also arrested in connection with the man's death had been released on bail.

A number of emergency service teams attended the scene on Tuesday afternoon, including three fire crews who extinguished a small fire inside the property.

Det Ch Insp Matt Holdsworth, who is leading the investigation, said officers have "a number of ongoing enquiries into the incident and the circumstances surrounding it" and asked people to avoid speculating about it on social media.

He asked anyone with information about the incident to contact police.
