CCTV appeal after woman's death

Police would like to question the man who was in the vicinity

Pictures have been released of a man police want to question after the death of a homeless woman in Swansea.

Julie Richardson, 42, was found dead next to the Ken Bukan Karate Club on Bethesda Street on Thursday, 29 May.

South Wales Police said they believed he was not involved in any way, but was captured on CCTV using the steps at the location at the relevant time.

A 31-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter remains on police bail.

Det Chief Insp Danny Richards, who is leading the investigation, said: "We are extremely keen to trace this man as he may be holding vital clues which could be crucial to the investigation.

Julie Richardson's family said they lost her "tragically to the life she chose"

"I would like to stress that we do not believe that he was involved in any way.

"I would appeal to the man or if anybody is aware of his identity to contact us"

The body of Ms Richardson, who sometimes slept rough in Swansea city centre, was found at about 1830 BST on 29 May.

Police said a member of the public tried to administer first aid in an attempt to revive her before she was declared dead.

In a statement issued shortly after her death, her relatives said Ms Richardson "came from a loving family who had lost her tragically to the life she chose to lead, which was out of their control".

They said she was "loved and will be sorely missed by all her family and friends."
