Joanne Shaw, a 35-year-old woman, dies in an explosion at her home in Bristol on Sunday, reports say. The reports name Ryan Kelly, 41, as the person linked to the incident. According to accounts in the coverage, Kelly forces his way into the house and detonates an explosive device described as a “grenade.” Shaw and Kelly both die in the blast. Three other people are reported to be injured in the explosion. Neighbour accounts cited in the reporting say Shaw had previously ended her relationship with Kelly for her own safety and had moved back in with her family. The same accounts say she had contacted police multiple times due to concerns about Kelly’s behaviour. Family statements and tributes in the articles describe Shaw as a mother who tried to protect her son during the incident. The overall description across the sources is that the case is being treated as a suspected murder-suicide, though the reports consistently focus on the deaths, the injuries, and the background allegations of repeated police calls related to Kelly’s conduct.
