Local man pleads guilty to attempted GBH with intent & assault occasioning actual bodily harm

A local man has pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Jacob McWilliam had been due to stand trial today on a charge of attempted murder. However, that charge was left on file and will not be proceeded with.

He instead pleaded guilty to counts two and three on the indictment.

Chief Justice Anthony Dudley ordered a pre sentencing report and adjourned the case for sentencing on the 24th of April.
