PAPPIATE LINSE, who was arrested following the death of a seven-year-old boy in Haverfordwest on Wednesday, January 10, has been charged with the child’s murder.

Police discovered the body of Louis Linse at a property in Market Street following a 999 emergency call.

The incident shocked the local community in Haverfordwest, where Linse moved in April 2022.

The Herald has uncovered a history of domestic violence against Ms Linse by her estranged husband.

Linse, from Chiang Mai, Thailand, is the estranged wife of Edward Linse, 51, a former businessman now in a psychiatric facility following several assault convictions, including a brutal attack on his parents.

In 2017, Edward Linse beat his wife using a children’s book at the couple’s £1.2m Cheshire home. In court his lawyer, Peter Malone, said: “He went to a boarding school and found that he struggled whilst he was there and he couldn’t properly deal with his emotions. “

The Herald has confirmed that Edward Linse has been informed of his son’s death and his wife’s arrest.

Their marriage broke down after a business venture in Thailand failed, the national press is reporting.

Then in the summer of 2022, a company the couple had set up in the UK, Alderley Landscapes, closed down and stopped trading.

Appearing at Swansea Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, Linse maintained composure, only speaking to confirm personal details. She was remanded to Swansea Crown Court for a hearing next Tuesday.

Neighbours in Haverfordwest described Papapait Linse as a solitary figure, homeschooling her two children.

Dr Sean Phelan, a next-door neighbour, expressed his shock, noting the children were always well-cared for.

Forensic teams continue investigating the Upper Market Street property, where floral tributes have appeared.
