A MAN allegedly murdered in Brighouse has been named by police.

Graham Paul Carter, 45, died in Calderdale Royal Hospital, Halifax, just before 6pm on Saturday.

A 33-year-old woman has been charged with his murder and was due to appear before Calderdale magistrates in Halifax this morning.

Mr Carter's death is linked to a stab wound he suffered on December 8. He received hospital treatment for the wound at that time, but had been allowed home.

He died after being re-admitted to hospital.
