A WOMAN's trial for racially abusing two alleged victims has been delayed.
Danielle McGarrity, of Chatcombe Drive, Worcester, appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court on Monday, (April 24) expecting her trial to go ahead.
But at the start of the hearing magistrates heard key witnesses were not in attendance.
The 31-year-old denies two charges of racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress - words/writing.
Both offences are alleged by the prosecution to have taken place on June 3 last year.
