Pontypridd murder inquiry: Woman killed was mum-of-two who had worked in military

A woman who was allegedly murdered in South Wales has been named as former RAF and army servicewoman Sarah Hassell, 38.

She died on Sunday from injuries sustained during an incident at Llys Graig Y Wion in Pontypridd.

A 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murdering the mother-of-two.

Police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death.

On Tuesday, Ms Hassell’s family released a tribute: “After growing up in the family home in Chelmsford, Sarah dedicated herself to 14 years of military service in both the RAF and the Royal Engineers.

“Her career was dominated by her commitment to mountain search and rescue – Sarah represented her units at both rock climbing competitions and competitive running.

“Sarah left the army in 2010 to embark on, and excel at, even greater challenges, raising two young boys, Owain and Evan.

“Sarah was my best friend and touched many more lives along the way.

“We all now mourn her passing, grateful for the short time we had in her company.”
