A man has been charged with murder after a ‘kind-hearted and generous’ grandma, 65, was found dead in her home in Wales.

The alarm was raised for June Fox-Roberts, 65, by a concerned family member on Sunday.

Her body was later discovered at her house in Llantwit Fardre, Pontypridd at around 2.45pm. The circumstances of her death have not been made public.

Luke Deeley, 25, from Pontypridd, is accused of murder and will appear before Merthyr Magistrates’ Court later today.

There are no known links between the victim and suspect, South Wales Police has said.

Detective Superintendent Darren George said: ‘I would again like to offer my personal thanks to the local community for their support during the investigation, the charging of a 25-year-old local man is quite clearly a significant development in the investigation and I hope this goes some way in offering reassurance to the local community.’

He added: ‘I once again urge people not to speculate on social media, my thoughts remain with June and her family who we continue to support through specially trained officers.’

It comes after Ms Fox-Roberts’ ‘heartbroken’ loved ones said they were in ‘utter shock’.
