We currently have cordons in place at three locations in Worcester including the Diglis footbridge, Waterworks Road and Cheviot Close as part of an investigation into a serious incident. We would ask people to remain out of these areas whist we investigate.

As part of the investigation we are working closely with Herefordshire and Worcestershire Fire and Rescue Service and South Wales Police Specialist Search team who will be searching the River Severn in the Diglis area.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Dean Jones, said: A 24- year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody. We believe this to be an isolated incident.”

We have no further updates at this time.

Christina Rowe, 28, has been described as a 'special' person by her friend George Devereux, following the discovery of her body in the River Severn in Worcester last week.

Ms Rowe, originally from the city of Angelese in the Philippines, came to the UK three years ago, Mr Devereux said.

"She moved away from all her friends to this strange little city. She wanted her daughter to have a good education."

Mr Devereux, from Worcester, said Christina had a British passport as her dad is from the UK.

He added that the mother loved cooking, nature, literature, poetry, art and philosophy, although her main focus was her daughter.

"She was so helpful. Once I locked myself out of the house and Christina let me use her phone to call a locksmith.

"Another time I missed a takeaway delivery and she took it in and kept it warm for me. She was just really thoughtful, like the best sort of Brit really.

A MAN accused of murder and attempted murder in Worcester failed to appear at the latest court hearing for the case.

[...] Mr Hamblett replied: “The information I have got is that he is unfit for court, and that is the email I have had (from prison staff), so he won’t be joining us today. That’s all I have been told.”

[...]

The preliminary hearing continued in Byrne’s absence and Rachel Brand, prosecuting, said: “It is clear from police interviews with this defendant that there will be psychiatric issues.

"I have spoken to Mr Hamblett, the defence are already progressing along the line of obtaining a psychiatric report. The first step is to ascertain fitness to plead.”

[...]

Judge Burbidge then set April 9 as the date for the next hearing of the case, which will be a pre-trial preparation hearing.
