A Rhyl man who appeared in court on a warrant is accused of attacking three people.

Liam Williams entered not guilty pleas to five charges.

He denies assaulting David Rowlands occasioning him actual bodily harm as well as denying an assault by beating charge against Joshua Rowlands with both offences alleged to have been committed on June 12 this year.

He also pleaded not guilty to assaulting Annette Wintle occasioning her ABH as well as an assault by beating on the same woman.

Williams, aged 35, of Oakville Drive, Rhyl also denies a coercive behaviour charge against Mrs Wintle with all the allegations against her said to have taken place between March and August this year.

He admitted breaching an order by failing to attend a probation appointment on June 14 this year.

Mold Crown Court heard that Williams had been handed a 22-month prison sentence suspended for two years on January 11 this year.

Judge Rhys Rowlands remanded him in custody on all the matters until a pre-trial hearing at Mold on September 14.
