Family pay tribute to daughter
AN 18-year-old girl has died following a three-vehicle crash on the A487.
A spokesman from Dyfed-Powys Police said: “We can confirm that an 18 year-old female has tragically died following a three-vehicle road traffic collision.
“It occurred at 8.45am on January 27 on the A487 Llanrhystud Road. A white coloured Fiat travelling from Llanon towards Llanrhystud came in to contact with two vehicles near the entrance to Plasgwyn Residential Home which is situated between the villages of Llanon and Llanrhystud.
“Any witnesses are asked to contact the Roads Policing Unit at Cardigan Police station on 101”
The girl has been named as Gwenno Fflur Tudor, from Llanilar, and her family have paid tribute to their beloved daughter. Gwenno attended Llanilar Primary School and then Tregaron Secondary School, and was currently studying at Llysfasi agricultural College.
She was a lively, bubbly girl who always had a smile on her face. She enjoyed taking part in sports and played football for Penrhyncoch and hockey for Tregaron.
She also enjoyed taking part in young Farmers activities. She loved to spend time outdoors, and spent a lot of her time outdoors on the farm. Gwenno will be very deeply missed by family and friends.
Her family would like to thank all the family and friends for all their kind wishes and support.
Police Family Liaison officer PC 1182 Helen Yelland said: “This is a tragic incident that has had a heartbreaking impact on Gwenno’s family and a very close knit community, who have come together in their grief following the tragedy.”

Mother admits to killing seven-year-old son in Haverfordwest
A mother has admitted to the manslaughter of her seven-year-old son at their home in Haverfordwest, citing diminished responsibility.
Papaipit Linse, 43, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Friday (Nov 22), where she denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with the death of her son, Louis Linse. Prosecutor Caroline Rees KC confirmed the manslaughter plea would be accepted, stating it “did not come as a surprise” to the prosecution.
The incident occurred on 10 January when police were called to a property on Upper Market Street. Louis was rushed to Withybush General Hospital but tragically died shortly afterwards.
During the hearing, Linse, who spoke only to confirm her name and enter her pleas, was informed that she would be sentenced on 13 December. Judge Paul Thomas KC described the case as “clearly a very sensitive as well as a very tragic case.”
The court was told that Linse is currently receiving treatment at the Caswell Clinic, a mental health facility in Bridgend. Psychiatric evidence is expected to be presented during the sentencing hearing to provide further insight into the circumstances surrounding the case.
