Ryan Kelly

Ryan Kelly, 41, is identified as the man who died in an explosion in Bristol on May 3rd. Police believe Kelly forced his way into a house in the Frenchay area of the city with an "explosive device" shortly before a blast occurred. The explosion resulted in the death of his ex-partner, Jo Shaw, 35, who sustained fatal injuries. Authorities are treating Shaw's death as a homicide and believe the explosion was deliberate. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is investigating the police's prior contact with Jo Shaw in relation to the incident. Kelly was also killed in the explosion. The event has prompted a police watchdog investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths and the police's involvement prior to the incident.
