A MAN has been charged with murder and is due to appear in court today.

The 34-year-old man will appear at Kidderminster Magistrates Court charged with the murder of Louise Evans, aged 32, between July 9 and 11 last year. Mrs Evans was found dead at the foot of the stairs at her home in Stoney Lane on July 10. An inquest was opened by the Worcestershire Coroner, Geraint Williams, in October and adjourned for reports. The charge follows an investigation by detectives from Kidderminster CID who arrested the man on suspicion of murder shortly after Mrs Evans’s death. He was charged last night.
