A 61-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a major overnight policing operation in Coity, Bridgend, after a 47-year-old woman died in hospital.
Officers responded to a call at around 12.43pm on Monday, October 19, following a report of a road traffic collision, in which a car had hit a wall in the Coity Road area.
South Wales Police confirmed that the 47-year-old woman sustained injuries unrelated to the collision and later died in hospital. Her family have been informed, but she has not been formally identified.
Scene Cordoned Off and Building Evacuated
The area was subsequently cordoned off, and officers evacuated a building. A man is now being held in custody.
Locals reported seeing a large police presence, including riot vans and armed officers, and said residents were asked to "sign in and out" of their homes. One resident commented that the community had "never had anything like this."
Investigation Continues
Officers remain at the scene as their investigation continues.
