James Fields.

Police said a 32-year-old woman had died and that they were attempting to notify her family
 before releasing more details. Col Martin Kumer, the superintendent of Albemarle-Charlottesville
Regional Jail, told the Guardian that 20-year-old James Fields, of Ohio, had been arrested
following the attack on Saturday.

“He has been charged with second degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and failing
to stop at an accident that resulted in a death,” Kumer said in an email.

Donald Trump condemned the “violence on many sides”, but faced criticism for failing to directly
denounce the far-right demonstrators.

In a separate incident, two police officers died when their helicopter, which was monitoring the
far-right rally, crashed outside Charlottesville.
State police said in a statement the helicopter was “assisting public safety resources with the ongoing
situation” when it crashed in a wooded area. The pilot, Lieutenant H Jay Cullen, 48, of Midlothian,
Virginia, and Trooper-pilot Berke Bates of Quinton, Virginia, died at the scene.

The deaths came at the end of a day marked by violent clashes between far-right nationalists and
people who had come to protest against their occupation of a downtown park containing a statue
of the Confederate general Robert E Lee...'
