A 30-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with attempted murder following an incident in Welshpool that left another man seriously injured.
Sam Williams, of Mortimer Road, Montgomery, appeared at Welshpool Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (November 26), facing charges of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. He made no plea during the hearing.
Williams is accused of the attempted murder of Marshall Carter, who sustained injuries requiring hospital treatment. Carter was initially taken to hospital in Shrewsbury before being transferred to Stoke-on-Trent for further care.
The defendant, who has a tattoo of a crown on his neck, was arrested by police in Oswestry. He was remanded in custody during the court proceedings.
Williams’ solicitor, Gurleen Kaur, told the court that no pleas would be entered at this stage. She explained that due to the seriousness of the charges, the case must be heard at a crown court.
Chair of the magistrates’ bench, Anthony Jackson, ordered Williams to remain in custody over the Christmas period. He is scheduled to appear before a judge at Mold Crown Court on Friday, December 27.
