A MAN and a woman have been cleared of attacking two people in Neyland.
Jenna Allen and Christopher Lewis, both of Kensington Road, were each due to face a trial in March relating to an alleged incident on June 25, 2023.
Lewis, 43, was charged with assaulting a man, causing him actual bodily harm, whilst 37-year-old Allen was accused of inflicting grievous bodily harm against a woman.
They had both previously pleaded not guilty to the offences, and a trial was scheduled to begin on March 18.
However, the case came back before the court on January 13. Prosecutor Ashanti-Jade Walton said that the complainants had withdrawn their support for the prosecution.
Ms Walton said the case had been reviewed, and it was “not felt it is appropriate” to continue, and offered no evidence against either defendant.
Judge Geraint Walters entered formal not guilty verdicts for both defendants, and vacated the trial date.
“They are free to go,” he said.
