A Tycroes man appeared at Swansea crown court on Friday to deny two charges of assault.

Peter Ronald Larkin, aged 64, attended a plea and case management hearing before Judge Keith Thomas.

He denied assaulting Jessie Lewis on October 10 last year causing her actual bodily harm.

Larkin, of Cefngwili Farm, Pontardulais Road, also denied assaulting by beating Jacob John Lloyd Lewis on the same date.

Larkin was granted bail until the start of a two day trial on May 26.

He was banned from entering an area of Kidwelly meanwhile.
