A 25-year-old woman has been placed on conditional bail after appearing in court on Saturday, charged in connection with damage to a headstone at Westerleigh Crematorium last year

White paint was poured over the headstone of 22-year-old Liam Scarman overnight 26 to 27 November 2020 and unpleasant notes left for his relatives, causing the family great distress.

Simona Julius, 25, of St George, was arrested on Friday and appeared before Bristol Magistrates on Saturday, charged with criminal damage, two counts of malicious communications and one of harassment.

She is now on conditional bail pending her next court appearance on May, 12.
