Man charged over collapse of school stabbing trial

A man has been charged in relation to the collapse of the first Ammanford school stabbing trial.

Last week, a 14-year-old girl, who cannot be named, was sentenced to 15 years at Swansea Crown Court for the attempted murder of two teachers and a pupil, following the second trial that began in January.

Christopher Elias, 45, from Waunceirch, Neath Port Talbot, has been charged with the offence of refusing to answer a question relating to the qualification to serve on a jury.

Mr Elias appeared at Swansea Magistrates' Court on 23 April, and will appear at the court again on 14 May.
