A man charged with murdering a 30-year-old woman has pleaded not guilty.

The body of Sophie Evans, a mother-of-two, was found in a house on Bigyn Road, in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, on 5 July.

Richard Jones, 50, from Y Rhodfa in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire, appeared via video link at Swansea Crown Court on Wednesday where he denied murdering Sophie Evans.

He entered a guilty plea to manslaughter, and a trial date was set for January.

Sophie's family previously said they were "heartbroken" by her loss and that she would "be greatly missed by us all."

They added: "Our beautiful and amazing sister and daughter Sophie was tragically taken from us and our lives will never be the same."
