A Llandeilo woman is to stand trial accused of stealing almost £1m from the CK Supermarkets group.

Susan Eirwen Thomas, aged 57, of Lan Farm, Broad Oak, appeared before Judge Paul Thomas at Swansea crown court today for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

She denied stealing credit balances totalling £955,000 between May 14, 2009, and June 18, 2013.

The "loser" was said to be Chris Kiley, the boss of the group.

Thomas faces a week long trial that will begin on June 12.

She was granted bail meanwhile.
