A MAN has been charged with murder following the death of a father-of-three.
South Wales Police said 34-year-old Thomas Griffiths, from Ynyshir, has been charged in connection with the death of 36-year-old Christian Dean.
Police were called to a house on Graig Road, Ynyshir, just before 1pm on Thursday June 26.
In a tribute, issued on Sunday evening, his family said: "The loss of Christian has deeply affected his family, friends, and the wider community who knew him well.
"Christian was a well-known and loved character. Christian brought energy, humour, and warmth wherever he went. He was a devoted father-of-three and a much-loved son, brother, partner and friend. His loss will be keenly felt by many."
