Murder charge over agency death

Kingsley Monk

Gwent Police say a 52-year-old man has been charged with murder following the death of a director of a driver recruitment agency.

Kingsley Monk, 45, died at the offices of Driverline 247 at New Inn, Pontypool, Torfaen on Monday.

Three other men at the office were also treated in hospital.

Russell Carter, 52, from Cardiff, also faces attempted murder and false imprisonment charges and will appear in court at Newport on Friday.

He was arrested on Monday evening just hours after Mr Monk's body was found.

Detectives said he and his colleagues had been tied up with cable ties and a post mortem examination revealed that Mr Monk's death is in keeping with pressure to the neck.

Meanwhile police are appealing for help in locating a silver handgun, blue shirt, a black laptop bag and a credit card reader.

Tributes have been paid to father-of-two Mr Monk, who was from Oakdale near Blackwood.

His sister said he was a "lovely, lovely man".
