"A teenager has been charged with murder after the death of a 17-year-old girl in South Wales. Gwent Police were called to a property in Wheatley Place, Cefn Fforest, around 7.15am on Thursday after reports that two people had suffered serious injuries. The girl, named as Lainie Williams, was pronounced dead at the scene, the force said. A second person, a woman aged 38 also from Cefn Fforest, has since been discharged from hospital."
"Assistant Chief Constable Vicki Townsend said: We understand that there has been a great deal of interest in this investigation. It is vital that people consider how their language, especially comments made online, could affect our ability to bring anyone found to have committed a criminal offence to justice. Even though we've reached this significant development in the investigation, our inquiries continue so it is likely that residents will continue to see officers in the area."
