GORSEINON: Two more men charged with murder of Ceiran Evans

Two more men have been charged over the death of 18-year-old Ceiran Evans in Gorseinon, South Wales Police said.

Elliot Truelove, 33, from West Cross, and Liam Thomas, 18, from Morriston, have both been charged with murder and with the attempted murder of a second person.

Mr Evans, from Gorseinon, died following a collision between a car and an off-road motorbike on Pen Cae Crwn Road at around 1pm on Thursday 9 July.

Tyler Ford, 18, from Morriston, was charged with murder and attempted murder two days after the collision.

Ford appeared at Swansea Crown Court in July, where a two-week trial was fixed for January.

Detective Chief Inspector Danielle Thorne, of the force’s Major Crime Investigation Team, said the investigation had been complex, into an incident that had been “incredibly traumatic for both Ceiran Evans’ family and the wider community of Gorseinon”.

“These additional charges are another significant update as we seek to understand the circumstances which led to Ceiran’s death,” she said. “We again thank the local community for their assistance with the investigation.”

Mr Evans’s death prompted an outpouring of grief, with hundreds of riders joining a memorial ride-out through Gorseinon in his memory.

The case continues.
