A MAN is to face a trial for making a threat to kill.
Lee Taylor told magistrates "I didn't do it" at the latest hearing of his case at Worcester Magistrates Court on Monday, (December 12).
The 32-year-old, of Scotland Place, Tenbury Well, denies making the threat to George Smith at the Abbeydore Guest House, Worcester, on October 15 this year.
His trial was due to go ahead on Monday, but after prosecution witnesses did not attend magistrates decided to adjourn his case.
