    A 59-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was seriously injured on 6 July.

    Emergency services attended an address in Bretton at around 7.45pm on Monday evening following reports that a woman had sustained stab wounds.

    She was then taken to hospital where she remains.

    Andrew Smith, of Bretton Lane, Bretton, was subsequently located and arrested in connection with the incident.

    He appeared at Wrexham Magistrates’ Court yesterday, Wednesday 8 July, charged with attempt murder, threatening a person with a knife in a public place, possessing a knife in a public place and assault by beating.

    He has been remanded in custody to appear at Mold Crown Court on 7 August.

    Detective Inspector Daniel George said: “Offences of this nature are incredibly rare in North Wales, and I would reassure residents that this was an isolated incident.

    “We are not looking to speak to anybody else in connection with the incident at this time.

    “This is an active investigation, therefore it is important that people do not speculate about the incident online.”
