A 64-year-old woman has died as the result of a savage dog attack in Wales.
Police were called to a house in the Ely area of Cardiff on Friday night after the woman suffered serious injuries. She died later at the University Hospital of Wales - despite the efforts of the emergency services.
Today police said a 23-year-old man had been charged with two offences under the Dangerous Dogs Act in connection with the incident, and will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
Superintendent Andy Valentine, of South Wales Police, said: "This is a tragic incident, which I know will shock and upset the local community.
"The woman's family are understandably extremely distressed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.
"I would like to reassure local residents that this is an isolated incident and a thorough police investigation into what happened on Friday is being conducted."
A 17-year-old man who was also arrested in connection with the attack is on police bail.
