A PONTARDDULAIS man is to stand trial accused of possessing a hand gun and threatening to kill a Llandeilo man.

Stephen David Gallwey, 54, appeared at Swansea crown court today to deny threatening to kill Rhodri Llewellyn Perkins at Llandeilo on September 18.

Gallwey, of Bolgoed Road, but formerly of Carmarthen Road, Llandeilo, also denied having with him at the time a revolver with the intention of making Mr Perkins fear that unlawful violence would be used against him.

Gallwey faces a two-day trial, scheduled to begin on February 23. He was granted bail meanwhile.
