A man is to appear in court charged with murder and 13 counts of attempted murder after a series of hit-and-run crashes in Cardiff. The 31-year-old, who police have not named, is also charged with four counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and dangerous driving. He will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court accused of murdering Karina Menzies, 31, 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 at 3.30pm on Friday. Two of the injured adults were in a critical condition and five children also received treatment after the driver of the white van brought bloodshed to the streets of the Welsh capital. Catrin Evans, head of complex casework unit for the Crown Prosecution Service, Wales said: "With legal proceedings now 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 therefore ask that nothing is placed in the public domain that may undermine this." |
