A Cardiff man arrested in an armed raid in Kent last week has been charged with murder.

Christopher Griffiths, 29, from Roath, is one of four men facing the charge following the death of Malaciah Thomas in the Welsh capital.

Armed police stormed a flat in Hartnup Street in Barming, Maidstone, last Wednesday as part of the investigation.

Mr Thomas, 20, suffered multiple stab wounds in the front garden of a house in Corporation Road just before 2am on Monday, July 23.

The 20-year-old's family are being supported by South Wales Police family liaison officers.

Mr Griffiths will appear with three other men, all of whom are charged with murder, at Cardiff Crown Court on September 20.
