A man has been charged with murder after a woman was pulled from a river in North Yorkshire.

Police were called to the River Derwent in Malton at 23:40 BST on Wednesday, with officers assisting in getting the woman out of the water.

The woman, who North Yorkshire Police named as 49-year-old Lisa Welford, from Malton, later died in hospital.

A 47-year-old man from Malton has since been charged, the force said, and is due to appear in court on Monday.

Det Ch Insp Shaun Page said: "Our thoughts are with Lisa's family and friends at this very sad time.

"We understand the disruption and distress it has caused locally and I want to thank the community for their patience and support."

Alora Baby aims to push baby gear away from the 'landfill economy'
Enter Alora Baby, which is trying to shift the narrative toward a greener and more sustainable option for manufacturing — and recycling — baby products. Alora Baby, backed by government grants, aims to introduce revolutionary changes to baby equipment, moving away from the norm that sees products designed for a single lifespan. “We are stuck in this system, which I call the landfill economy, which is basically where stuff just gets crappier: Materials are more expensive, labor is less and less exploitative (thankfully!), but we don’t have the fuel for this machine anymore,” said Angus Whiston, Alora Baby's founder, in an interview with TechCrunch.
