South Wales Police have confirmed three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of 30-year-old Daniel Rae.

Police were called to a house in Treforest just before 8pm on the 17th of December after reports of a serious assault.

Two men, a 22-year-old man from Birmingham and a 33-year-old from Glyncoch, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. A 21-year-old woman from Treforest has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Detective Superintendent Mark O’Shea from South Wales Police said "I would like to reiterate that we believe this to be a targeted incident and that at this time we are confident that there is not any wider risk to the public.

“If you were in the vicinity of Princess Street or Broadway around 7.30 pm on Sunday, or have heard anything in relation to the murder, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, please get in touch. At the very least your information could add certainty to details that we haven’t yet confirmed.”
