Tyler Ford, 18, a nine-time world kickboxing champion, has denied murder, attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent following a fatal crash involving a car and an off-road bike in Gorseinon, Swansea. Ceiran Evans, also 18, died after the collision on Pen Cae Crwn Road on 9 July; the charges relate to his death and a second person.

Elliot Truelove, 33, and Liam Thomas, 18, both from Swansea, also denied the three charges. Trisha Thomas, 36, denied assisting an offender. A trial is due to begin on 11 January next year and is expected to last up to six weeks; Evans’s family said he was deeply loved and would be missed.
