Eleanor Barnfield, 47, died in hospital after crashing her car into a wall in Bridgend on Monday. Police found she had sustained puncture wounds unrelated to the collision, which are understood to have been caused by a stabbing. A 61-year-old man from Bridgend has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a significant police operation at a nearby retirement housing complex, where Eleanor worked for the housing association Valleys to Coast.
Eleanor's family described her as the "kindest, most loving, bravest person in the world" and expressed deep sorrow at her loss. Valleys to Coast's chief executive, Jo Oak, said the organisation was devastated and praised Eleanor's contributions. South Wales Police confirmed an ongoing investigation with increased police presence in the area, assuring the community of their commitment to resolving the case.
