45-year-old Christopher Elias appeared before Swansea Magistrates’ Court earlier today (Wednesday 14 May) charged with the offence of refusing to answer a question relating to the qualification to serve on a jury.
The trial over the stabbing and attempted murder of two teachers and a pupil at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman by a 14-year-old collapsed in October last year, with the judge saying there had been a “great irregularity in the jury”.
A subsequent retrial saw the teenage girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, sentenced to 15-years for the attack on teachers Fiona Elias, Liz Hopkin and a pupil during break time at the school in April 2024.
Elias was released on unconditional bail ahead of his next hearing on 2 June at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court.
