A 55-year-old man has been charged with murder following the death of a 71-year-old woman.

Retired horsewoman Wendy Buckney was found in Tanycoed Road, Clydach, Swansea, on 23 August.

South Wales Police said a local man has been remanded into custody.

Det Ch Insp Matt Davies passed on his condolences and said his thoughts remained with "Wendy's family and friends who are understandably devastated by what has happened".

The man is due to appear in court on Monday.
