Two Pembroke men have appeared before a crown court judge to deny murdering Dean Evans.

They were Lee Carter, aged 23, of Powell Close, and a 17-year-old youth who cannot be named because of his age.

Patrick Griffiths, who represented the prosecution, told Judge John Diehl at Swansea Crown Court that the case was proceeding satisfactorily and would be ready for trial in mid-January.

The pair are accused of killing Mr Evans on August 14.

There will be a further hearing on December 1. The defendants were remanded in custody meanwhile.
