Mother Charged With Murdering Autistic Boy, 11, At Airport Hotel
Judith Evans
A mother was charged today with murdering her autistic 11-year-old son at an airport hotel in Wales.
Yvonne Freaney, 48, of Penarth, was arrested after police found her with her dead son, holding his hand, at Glen at the Sky Plaza Hotel on Saturday.
Glen had last been seen alive on Thursday. Police believe that Mrs Freaney had spent the interim in the hotel room with her son’s body. South Wales Police said that Glen’s friends and family had contacted them on Saturday, concerned about his safety.
A police spokesman said that police arrived at the hotel, near Cardiff Airport, within three minutes. “Sadly, when officers arrived at their hotel room, the victim was dead.”
Ms Freaney appeared at Barry Magistrates’ Court this afternoon, but spoke only to confirm her name and address. She was remanded in custody and will appear at Cardiff Crown Court tomorrow morning.
