Officers have established a cordon at the scene, where they are continuing their inquiries.

In a separate incident, four individuals have been charged in connection with the murder of Joanne Penney, a 40-year-old woman shot in Talbot Green, South Wales.

The accused are Marcus Huntley, 20; Melissa Dashpre Quiley, 39; Joshua Gordon, 27; and Tony Porter, 68. Porter is also charged with participating in the activities of an organised crime group.

All four are scheduled to appear in Cardiff Magistrates’ Court.

Ms. Penney was shot in the chest at her residence on Llys Illtyd and was pronounced dead shortly after emergency services arrived.

Local residents have expressed shock, with some indicating they heard a gunshot in the vicinity.

Detective Chief Superintendent Ceri Hughes is leading the investigation and has urged anyone with information relating to the incident to come forward, emphasizing the importance of even minor details.

Families of the accused have released statements indicating their deep grief over the loss of Ms. Penney, appealing for privacy as they process the tragedy.

In another incident, a man in his 20s is critically injured after being stabbed outside a cocktail bar in Old Street, central London, following a night out.

The attack occurred around 2:20 AM, leading to the prompt arrest of three men and a woman in connection with the incident.

The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Be At One cocktail bar has issued a statement acknowledging the serious incident nearby, confirming that their venue is closed while police conduct their investigations.

Traffic has been restricted in the area as emergency services manage the situation.

Lastly, a local councillor faced court proceedings regarding accusations of attempting to influence a teenage rape complainant to drop charges against a suspect.

The case involves Samir Abdul, 18, who is charged with two counts of rape.

Other individuals connected to the incident are also facing charges related to perverting the course of justice.

The next court hearing is scheduled for March 28.
