Police have moved to dismiss claims that a death at a caravan park on the outskirts of Tenby is linked to asylym seekers staying at the Penally camp facility nearby.

Jean Evans was found in a caravan at Kiln Park on Friday, November 20, after police officers were called shortly after 6 pm.

A police spokesperson stated today (Friday, November 27): “Dyfed-Powys Police has been made aware of false claims that the investigation into the sudden death of a woman at Kiln Park caravan park, near Tenby, on November 20, is linked in some way to Penally Asylum Centre or its service users.

“We can confirm there is no link, and any claims to the contrary are entirely without merit.”

Police stated earlier this week that investigations into the death are continuing.

“The man arrested has subsequently been released under investigation whilst enquiries continue,” said a spokesperson.

“Police would reiterate that they are not searching for anyone else in connection with this matter at this time, but there will be increased police patrol in the area for reassurance,” they added.

The family of Jean Evans issued the following statement on Thursday of this week: “We as a family would like to pay tribute to a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. We are all devastated with this big loss.

“We would like to thank everyone for their support at this horrific time. It has meant so much to the whole family.

“We are distraught by our loss. Jean Evans will be missed by us all.

“We would now like time to grieve and would ask to be given privacy to do so.”
