A man has been charged with murder following the sudden death of 36-year-old Christian Dean.

South Wales Police officers were called to a house on Graig Road in Ynyshir, Rhondda Cynon Taf, just before 13:00 BST on Thursday.

Mr Dean's family said he was a "devoted" father-of-three and "much loved" son, brother and partner.

Thomas Griffiths, 34, from Ynyshir, has been charged with murder and has been remanded into custody.

"The loss of Christian has deeply affected his family, friends, and the wider community who knew him well," said Mr Deans' family.

They added he was a "well-known" and "loved character" who brought "energy, humour, and warmth wherever he went".
