A man has been charged with the murder of a woman found dead in Blackpool. The body of Alison Dodds was discovered at a flat on Redcar Road at around 11am on Thursday.
A murder investigation was launched after post-mortem examination revealed that the 51 year old had died as a result of multiple serious injuries.
Yesterday a 35 year old man from Blackpool was arrested on suspicion of Alison's murder. In an update, officers have now confirmed that he has been charged. Alex Hindley, 35, of Redcar Road, has been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates this morning.
