A MAN charged after an alleged stabbing at a house in Kidderminster denied attempted murder when he appeared before a judge at Worcester Crown Court.

Janusz Suwala denied trying to kill Vidmantas Tolveisa on Christmas Day last year. He also pleaded not guilty to assaulting Bogusz Derendarz and causing him actual bodily harm.

Suwala, 39, of Greatfield Road, Kidderminster, was remanded in custody by Judge Andrew Geddes. He is due to face trial by jury at a date to be fixed.
