Man charged with attempted murder of woman
A Portsmouth man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of a woman who has been left fighting for her life in hospital.
As reported, Mandeep Singh, 31, of Sheffield Road, Fratton, was arrested after the incident in Peartree Road, Southampton, at 8pm on Monday (13 April). A 25-year-old woman had been found with a “serious, and possibly life-threatening, head injury”, police previously said.
A force spokesperson added: “She remains in hospital at this time, where she is receiving treatment. We have now charged Mandeep Singh with attempted murder and with assaulting, ill-treating, neglecting or abandoning a child to cause unnecessary suffering.”
Singh has now appeared at Southampton Magistrates' Court where he was remanded in custody to appear at Southampton Crown Court on 15 May.
Deputy district commander for Southampton Chief Inspector Chris Douglas said on Wednesday: "We will continue to have officers in the area of Peartree Avenue. When you see them, please do stop and discuss about any concerns or information you may have.
"If you want to share anything with us, you can also do so 100 per cent anonymously by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or by going to their website."
