Charges have been laid overnight against the

two people arrested

over the murder of Danielle Easey.

Following inquiries, the 33-year-old man arrested at Cardiff has been charged with murder.

The 32-year-old woman arrested at Holmesville has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder and a fraud offence, with police alleging she impersonated Danielle online following her death to gain access to money.

A van seized during Thursday’s arrests has been forensically examined and investigations are continuing, with specialist forensic police still examining properties at Cardiff and Narara.

The body of 29-year-old Danielle Easey was located in Cockle Creek at Killingworth late last month.

The pair have been refused bail to appear in court today.
