Assaulted mother is allowed home

Nerys Price's daughter was delivered early because of the trauma

A mother who gave birth hours after being badly beaten by intruders has been discharged from hospital, as police re-appeal for information.

Nerys Price, 35, from Prestatyn, Denbighshire, was hit twice on the head with a weapon on 15 August, and her partner Simon Morris was also hurt.

Their daughter Freya was delivered by Caesarean section before the mother underwent surgery for head injuries.

North Wales Police said they had received "very little information".

Senior investigating officer, Det Insp Graham Talbot said: "There is no clear motive for this attack.

"However, we are currently exploring every avenue possible and are following a number of lines of enquiry."

Every avenue

He said it was "excellent news" Ms Price and her daughter were being discharged from hospital, adding: "We are yet again, renewing our appeal for anyone who may have information, no matter how small, to contact us."

The couple were attacked in their home in Calthorpe Drive, Prestatyn, early last Friday.

Ms Price, who holds a senior position with a building firm, was hit on the head twice with a blunt instrument while Mr Morris, 36, was hit in the back as he tried to protect her.

Doctors at Glan Clwyd Hospital at Bodelwyddan decided to deliver the baby, fearing for her health after the trauma.
