Sasha murder probe: father charged

The father of a 17-year-old girl found stabbed to death has been charged with her murder.

Gary Fisher, 47, of Solihull, West Midlands, will appear before Llanelli Magistrates' Court on Thursday.

The body of Chanelle Sasha Jones, known to her friends as Sasha, was found in a Ford Fiesta in Aberaeron, Ceredigion, West Wales, on Sunday.

The teenager had been reported missing by a family member earlier in the day. The car was stopped by officers from Dyfed Powys Police and Fisher was arrested at the scene.

A post-mortem examination revealed that Sasha, from Cardigan, had died of stab wounds.

The way in which officers dealt with the missing person report is to be investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

IPCC Commissioner for Wales Tom Davies said: "I would like to add my condolences to Sasha's family and friends for their tragic loss. We are arranging to meet her family to explain our role.

"The IPCC investigation will be carried out by our own investigators and they will be looking at whether the police response to the missing person report was proportionate and timely.

"The IPCC investigators will also look at the force's missing person risk assessment and whether the police had any previous intelligence to take account of.

"The police murder investigation will take primacy at this stage and I would like to assure Sasha's family and the public that the IPCC will ensure that its investigation will not impede the Dyfed Powys Police criminal investigation.
