A man has been charged in connection with the collapse of the first Ammanford school stabbing trial.

Earlier this week, a teenage girl was detained for 15 years for stabbing two teachers and a fellow pupil during the school knife attack.

The 14-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was previously found guilty of the attempted murder of teachers Fiona Elias, Elizabeth Hopkin and another pupil at in Ammanford, , on 24 April last year.

She was convicted after a second trial which began in January.

Christopher Elias, 45, from Waunceirch, Neath Port Talbot, has been charged with the offence of refusing to answer a question relating to the qualification to serve on a jury.

He appeared at Swansea Magistrates' Court on 23 April, and will appear at the court again on 14 May.

The first trial involving the girl collapsed in October 2024, because of what the judge described as a "great irregularity in the jury".
