Easton woman charged with murder following stabbing in St Paul’s
A woman has been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of a man in his 60s in St Paul’s.
The incident happened on Grosvenor Road on Friday afternoon, with members of the public helping to detain a woman before police arrived after which a cordon was erected around the Rastafari Culture Centre.
Christina Howell, 36, of Easton, remains in custody and will appear at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
The man, who was also from Easton, died in hospital from a stab wound.
Police are treating the incident as a race-hate crime with the man’s family being offered assistance by SARI, a St Paul’s-based charity that supports victims of hate in Bristol.
Neighbourhood chief inspector Deepak Kenth said: “Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the deceased, who was a familiar and popular figure to many people in St Paul’s.
“We remain very grateful to the community for their prompt action to help the injured man and support for our investigation immediately after this tragedy.
“You will still see an increased police presence in the area as our enquiries continue.”
