Police have launched a murder investigation following the death of a man who was left in a critical condition after violence broke out in a village.

Anthony "Tony" Jones, 56, from Brecon suffered life-threatening injuries in an incident to which Gwent Police firearms officers were called in Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, on Thursday.

The force said seven men aged 31, 39, 40, 45, 59, 61, and 73 had been arrested in connection to "disorder" and all seven remained in police custody.

Officers have appealed for anyone with information, CCTV or dashcam footage from the area between 19:00 and 19:30 BST to contact them.

On Saturday police said following Jones's death officers investigating the report of "violent disorder" were now conducting a murder investigation.

They said his family were being supported by specialist officers.

Det Ch Supt Anne-Marie Salwey said: "We're trying to establish the movements of those involved both before and after the disorder and are asking motorists who were driving along Hospital Road, Mill Road and the surrounding areas between 6pm and 9pm on Thursday to check their dashcam footage."
