A 32-year-old woman from Birmingham has been charged with murdering her son, whose body was found on a beach near a popular west Wales holiday resort.

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed on Friday afternoon that Mirlene Priscilla Stewart is accused of killing her son Jordan, who would have been two next Tuesday.

The area was sealed off by police

His body was found shortly after 1030 BST on Tuesday by a couple walking along Coppet Hall Point beach near the holiday resort of Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire.

Jordan had been discovered submerged in a rock pool. A post mortem examination later confirmed the cause of death as drowning.

The toddler's buggy was found near to his body.

Ms Stewart was arrested within hours and had been interviewed by detectives at Carmarthen Police Station.

On Friday, officers confirmed that she had appeared before Carmarthen magistrates and was later remanded in custody.

A statement from Dyfed Powys Police said: "Mirlene Priscilla Stewart appeared before Carmarthen Magistrates this afternoon and was remanded in custody.

"The deceased has now been formally identified as Jordan Reid, Ms Stewart's natural son."

The picturesque sandy stretch of beach on which the boy's body was found is close to the resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot and is visited by thousands of tourists every year.

A memorial service for Jordan Reid will be held at the beach where he died on Sunday evening.
