Home Uncategorized A 41-year-old mother allegedly pulled a knife from her own back before trying to escape — only to collapse and die moments later in the street near a football ground. Charlene Dowsell was reportedly stabbed during an altercation outside a property close to Newport County’s stadium in Wales. Prosecutors told the court that despite suffering the wound, she managed to remove the blade herself and move away from the scene before collapsing nearby. Armed officers rushed to the area in the early hours, while 66-year-old Albert Williams was later charged with murder and remanded in custody. Police have warned against online speculation as detectives continue reconstructing the victim’s final moments. But one unanswered question about what happened immediately before the alleged attack — and the relationship between those involved — could become central to the case.

Albert Williams appeared at Newport Magistrates’ Court today charged with murder.

Prosecutor Anna Parry said Charlene was stabbed in the back and pulled the knife out herself.

But after attempting to leave the scene, the gran collapsed and died in the street, the court heard.

Williams, 66, spoke only to confirm his personal details during the hearing.

He was remanded into custody to next appear at Cardiff Crown Court later this week.

Gwent Police said officers, including specially trained firearms officers, responded to reports of an altercation outside a property in St Vincent Road in the early hours of Saturday.

Detective Superintendent Matt Sedgebeer said: “Our enquiries are ongoing, we continue to have a significant police presence in the area, and I ask anyone with any information that can help the investigation to contact us.

“One man has now been charged with murder and with this in mind I’d ask people not to speculate about this case online while the legal process takes its course.
