Swansea murder investigation: Appeal for information

Officers were called to an address in Neath Road, Hafod at around 1.35pm on Tuesday 13th September.

A 37-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody at Swansea Central Police Station.

Acting Detective Superintendent Kath Pritchard of the Major Crime Investigations Team said:

“On behalf of South Wales Police, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Alison Farr-Davies who was due to celebrate her 43rd birthday this weekend.

“Although we currently have a man in custody I want to appeal to anyone who was in this area of Neath Road between 1pm and 2pm on Tuesday afternoon who may have seen anything suspicious to come forward. Officers responded to several calls from the public who reported seeing a man in the road.

“I would like to thank the members of the public who stopped at the scene on Tuesday to offer assistance and those who have responded to our appeal for information so far.”

Detectives are also appealing to anyone who was in this area on Sunday afternoon at the time of the Swansea City v Chelsea Premier League match at the Liberty Stadium.

A/Det Supt Pritchard added:

“I am keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious involving a man and a woman on Sunday afternoon. There was a football car park in this area so there would have been a lot of people around at the time. These people may have information that could be of assistance to us regarding Alison’s death.”

HM Coroner has been informed and Alison’s family is being supported by a specially-trained family liaison officer.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact 101 quoting incident number 1600352748 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
