Ms Nelson, 64, was pronounced dead at a house in Victoria Avenue, Whitehead on Saturday after police responded to a report of a stabbing incident.

A PSNI spokeswoman said the man is expected to appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (April 20) and, in line with normal procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.

Police have appealed for anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area of Victoria Avenue, Edward Road, Balmoral Avenue, Kings Road or Islandmagee Road on Saturday between 5pm and 7pm to come forward.

Detectives are also keen to hear from anyone who has dashcam footage, or who has premises with CCTV in the area.
