A WOMAN has been charged with two counts of attempted murder in relation to two stabbings in Hereford.
Joanna Dennehy, aged 30, from Bifield, Orton Goldhay, was charged on Saturday and appeared before Peterborough Magistrates Court this morning.
The stabbings occurred in the Whitecross and Hunderton areas of Hereford on April 2.
Dennehy was remanded in custody following her court appearance today and is due to appear before Cambridge Crown Court next week.
Gary Stretch, aged 47, from Riseholme, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, has previously appeared before Hereford Magistrates Court in connection with the incidents.
He has been charged with encouraging or assisting in the commission of indictable offences, believing that one or more will be committed (under the Serious Crime Act 2007) and remanded into custody.
He was also charged with a burglary which took place at a house in Kington on the same day.
Three local men, all from Kington, who were arrested over the knife attacks are believed to have had no direct involvement with the stabbings and were released without charge in relation to those offences.
