Michael Moore Charged With Murder of Courtney Angus in Batley

Michael Moore, 37, of Norfolk Street in Batley, has been charged with the murder of 21-year-old Courtney Angus from Dewsbury, whose body was found at a Batley address on July 26. Moore was also charged with possession of a bladed article, affray, and two counts of threatening a person with a bladed article in a public place, related to incidents at an Asda store in Dewsbury on the same day. Police were initially called to the Asda store following reports of a man armed with a knife, leading to Moore's arrest and disclosure about the death of a woman at the Norfolk Street property. Courtney was just hours away from celebrating her 21st birthday, with friends, family, and her former workplace expressing grief and condolences. Moore has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Leeds Magistrates' Court. The case has deeply affected the communities of Batley and Dewsbury.
