Carl Sargeant death inquiry 'U-turn' welcomed

A decision to hold an independent inquiry into the death of sacked minister Carl Sargeant has been welcomed by Flintshire council's deputy Leader.

Bernie Attridge was a lifelong friend of former communities secretary Mr Sargeant, who was found dead on Tuesday - four days after being sacked by First Minister Carwyn Jones.

But Mr Attridge said it was "a major "U-turn"" but called for the first minister to resign to allow the investigation to take place.
