The man accused of Cardiff’s white van rampage on Friday appeared in court today charged with murder and 13 counts of attempted murder.
Matthew Tvrdon, 31, who gave his address as no fixed abode, was remanded in custody and will appear in Newport Crown Court tomorrow by videolink.
It was confirmed today that the two people still critically ill at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, following the hit and runs are improving, and that one adult victim and one child victim have been discharged. Three adults and three children are still being treated.
Tvrdon was initially led into court with his hands cuffed behind his back and was described as unshaven, wearing a navy blue sweater and with closely-cropped dark hair.
He looked relaxed as he was released from his handcuffs and brought into the courtroom.
He spoke with a soft Cardiff accent as he confirmed his date of birth as November 13, 1980.
Asked to confirm his address, he said: “Unfortunately, at the moment I was between moving out.”
There were no members of the public in the courtroom as Tvrdon was brought before District Judge Bodfan Jenkins.
Tvrdon is facing a charge of murdering 31-year-old mother of three Karina Menzies outside Ely Fire Station on Friday afternoon.
He has also been charged with 13 counts of attempt murder, four counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and dangerous driving.
This morning, a van believed to be carrying the suspect, arrived at the court building off Newport Road, Cardiff, at before 8.30am today.
As it later left the court building after the hearing, people shouted angrily as it drove away.
Among the injured in the incidents at five different locations in west Cardiff on Friday afternoon, were seven children and six adults.
Yesterday afternoon, it was confirmed that only three adults and three children now remain in hospital.

What a tragedy…. Why the fuck did he do this? A young girl dies needlessly, her kidies just about escaped with their lives and various other people get run over and a young man has thrown his life away…. WHY????
He done it because he hates english,,why didn’t he kill his own people ? Theres enough of this scum in my country ,,,,and who gives a shit about him ? you say “a young has thrown his life away”,,are you joking ? Fu*k him
Why are not telling we all know that ypu could tell it was another immigrant by saying they needed to keep his name out of the media so he could get a fair trail. Why whats there not to be fair he was driving van that mowed dow the indigenious once more we are under attack no matter what they try to say to the to lie to us that this is what is happening what is worse the EU is forcing us to take more everyday and unbelieveable the party that signed us up fpr this is now the Must popular in polls what hope have we got.
They are killing us, raping us, robbing us, taking our jobs, our houses, our services. Thise children that have lost their mum will never get over it and will have a life time of sorrow and no special times with their mum if had not been let in this country it would have not happened we should all demo millions of us to stop them coming and send them back I am sorry but it is just too awful this. Tears!
Spot ON wild horse ,,,you allways talk sense
Thanks badwhiteman:-)
Wildhorses27 I think there is a danger of releasing suspects details in the media. Recently we have seen a man accused of murder named in the media and his life was made hell by the public. It turned out that some one else. The media often put a dramatic edge on the matter and the public tend to believe it. therefore a danger of juries possibly making their mind up before hearing the facts presented. With the remainder of your comment 100% with you on that! OINK!

Porkchop I agree in the case you speak of but the fact is they new for sure it was him he was in the van But you know what I mean they are always trying to conceal immigrant offenses in particular Muslim ones. 2 TIER.
