In a heartbreaking turn of events, a fifth person has been charged in connection with the tragic death of 22-year-old Liam Woolford in Rhydyfelin. It all started with a disturbance call just before 1am on September 23rd, where sadly, Liam lost his life despite three other men in their 20s being rushed to hospital with injuries.
Zoe Peters, 36, of Rhydyfelin, is the latest to face charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to wound, as she appears in court today. Four others already appeared in court, caught up in serious charges, including murder and possession of a bladed article.
Liam, remembered fondly as an “amazing” man, touched the lives of many with his outgoing and friendly nature. His sister, Lauren, speaks of a brother who could light up any room and a family forever changed by his loss. The heartfelt tribute gathered crowds in his honour earlier this month in Porth, highlighting his impact on those around him.
Detective Inspector Rebecca Merchant has emphasised the ongoing investigation, thanking the Rhydyfelin community for their support and urging anyone with information to step forward.
For those with insights into this case, please contact the police via their website’s Live Chat or by calling 101. Our thoughts remain with Liam’s family and loved ones during this incredibly tough time. Stay safe and look out for one another.
