A man has been charged with murder after the death of a teacher in Northumberland. Paul Robson, 49, was also charged with the attempted murder of a 15-year-old after he was arrested outside Glasgow on Friday. Northumbria police said Caroline Kayll, 47, was attacked at an address in Linton on the evening of Sunday 15 November and died in hospital days later. The teenager was taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries and was later discharged. Robson, of Stanley Street in Wallsend, will appear before Bedlington magistrates’ court on Monday. Police said the investigation into the circumstances around the incident was ongoing. The senior investigating officer, DI Graeme Barr, said: “A murder investigation is always tragic for those involved and our thoughts go out to the families at this very difficult time. “We have had extra officers on patrol in the area concerned because we appreciate the impact that this kind of incident can also have upon the wider community. “We want to reassure the public that this is being treated as an isolated incident and a man has now been charged in connection with the attack and Caroline’s death.” Kayll worked as a teacher at Atkinson House school, which caters for children with social, emotional and mental health issues. In a statement, the school in Seghill said: “Our school community is saddened to hear the news of Caroline’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very difficult time.” Barr added: “I would urge members of the public to respect the active legal proceedings and refrain from speculating on social media as this could potentially prejudice the case. “I’d like to thank those who have come forward with information to assist us with this case and would appeal for anyone with further information who has yet to do so to get in touch.”
