A MAN is due in court today charged with the murder of a woman who was found stabbed to death in a Southampton flat.

The body of Anita Bawtree, 34, was discovered at a flat in Napier House, Paynes Road, Southampton, in the early hours of Tuesday.

A post-mortem examination revealed she died from stab wounds.

Her partner Steven Waters, of the same address, will appear before Southampton Magistrates’ Court today charged with her murder.

The 54-year-old is being held in police custody and was charged with murder last night.
