Aneurin Brewer appeared on behalf of a defendant charged with murder following a fatal stabbing of a 17 year old boy in a crack den. The defendant, a London based man, was said to have played the role of back up and look out when his two co-defendants went into the crack den and fatally stabbed the victim, said to be a competing local drug dealer in a small Welsh Village outside of Cardiff.
The trial involved detailed and extensive cross examination of a number of eyewitnesses present in the crack den, as well as two co-defendants’ who all gave contradictory accounts of the stabbing.
Although other defendants were convicted of murder or manslaughter, Aneurin’s client was one of two entirely acquitted.
The case attracted a great deal of national media coverage within Wales and was tried over six weeks before Mrs Justice Stacey, the presider of the Welsh circuit.
Aneurin was instructed by Guven Ates of Atesh Solicitors.
Aneurin Brewer is a dedicated criminal defence specialist with a national practice and is regularly instructed to present those accused of the most serious criminal offences.
