Woman whose body was found hours after man's car park death is named

A woman found dead at home in Newport earlier this week has been named by police as Kerry Bradford.

The 57-year-old was found at her address on Monnow Way in Bettws on Sunday evening (April 25), a few hours after officers had been called to a car park three miles away in Newport city centre after receiving reports that a man had fallen.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and his death is not being treated as suspicious, although Gwent Police have said the incidents are linked and enquiries are ongoing.

A spokesperson for Gwent Police said: "Officers are continuing to carry out enquiries in the Bettws area of Newport following the death of a woman.

"57-year-old Kerry Bradford was found deceased at an address in Monnow Way at about 6.15pm on Sunday, April 25.

"The death is being treated as suspicious, specialist officers are continuing to support the family and our thoughts remain with them.

"At this time we are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death, which is being linked to another death on Sunday afternoon.

"At around 4.40pm we also had a call reporting that a man had fallen from the Kingsway car park in Newport city centre. The man was confirmed dead at the scene. His death is not being treated as suspicious.

"We’d like to thank the local community for their continued support as officers carry out enquiries in the local area."
