Mr Hamilton, 27, was found dead on the side of Penmaen Road in the early hours of July 17.

A 22-year-old man and 18-year-old woman, both from Risca, were arrested in connection with his death yesterday.

Last night, the man was charged with causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road accident, failing to report a road accident, driving with no insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
