Richard Davies Jones, a solicitor from Woodfield Lane, Lower Ashtead, was charged in the early hours of this morning with the murder of 31-year-old Laura Grace Emily Davies Jones, a social worker from the same address.

Officers were called to the house shortly before 2pm on December 1, where Mrs Davies Jones was found with life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene at around 2.30pm.
