Police were called at 4.21am on Sunday, August 9 with a report that a man had been assaulted at an address in Weston Lane, Southampton.

Officers attended the property but the man - Craig Wesley Mintram - was pronounced dead at the scene.

An investigation was launched, and a 23-year-old woman from Dorset has been charged with the murder of the 45-year-old.

Katie Linin, of Eldon Place, Bournemouth has been remanded in custody to appear at Southampton Magistrates’ Court this morning (Wednesday, August 12).

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Robert Harrington, previously said: “First and foremost, my thoughts are with the victim and his family.

“We have specially trained officers who continue to support them at this extremely sad and difficult time. I’d also like to reassure the community that our teams and officers are working extremely hard to progress our investigation.”
