A 91-year-old man has been charged with murder.

It follows the death of a 92-year-old woman in Weston-super-Mare after she was found dead in a residential address.

That woman has now been confirmed by Avon and Somerset Police to have been his wife.

Anne Woodbridge was found deceased earlier this week on Monday morning (January 30).

John Woodbridge, of Ashcombe Road, has subsequently been charged with murder.

The 91-year-old was due before Bristol Magistrates Court today (2 February) and has now been put on conditional bail until March 17 when he'll appear at Bristol Crown Court.
