Police have charged a man with murder after finding a woman’s body at a flat in Coventry.

32-year-old Marleen Doyle was found in Othello Court, Shakespeare Street, at 5.20pm last Thursday (20 January).

A post mortem examination confirmed she died of injuries to her head.

Marleen’s partner, Patryk Skupinski, aged 36, from Othello Court, Shakespeare Street, has been charged with murder.

His mother, Hanna Skupinski, aged 57, from Bell Green Road, Coventry, has been charged with assisting an offender.

They will both appear at Birmingham Magistrates Court tomorrow (24 January).

“My thoughts remain with Marleen’s family who are understandably devastated by what has happened.

“I’d encourage anyone who saw any suspicious in the area over the last week, or has any information to get in touch.”
