A MAN with a history of violence in the pubs and clubs of Tenby has been jailed today for his latest attack. .

Nicholas Glanville, aged 32, admitted assaulting James Scorer causing him grievous bodily harm. Swansea crown court heard it was Glanville’s ninth conviction for violence. Judge Chris Vosper said Glanville had received non custodial sentences in the past but they had not had the desired effect and now an immediate prison sentence was necessary. Glanville, of 39 The Glebe, Tenby, was jailed for 14 months. Tom Scrapens, prosecuting, said on November 30 last year Mr Scorer, a 44 year old chef, had been drinking in the Three Mariners when he as approached by Glanville’s sister. There had been a dispute over a claim that Mr Scorer owed £3,000 to the landlord of a previous pub he had worked at. Mr Scorer said it was untrue. Glanville was to tell police after his arrest that two weeks earlier he had been mistaken for Mr Scorer and beaten up because of the alleged debt. He thought Mr Scorer was dismissive of the matter and struck him once to the left side of his face. Mr Scorer was knocked unconscious and doctors had to insert metal plates into a jaw fracture. Kate Williams, representing Glanville, a father of three, said although the attack had been unprovoked there was a background to it. She said Glanville came from a family who had lived all their lives in the town. Judge Vosper said Glanville had been convicted in the past for eight assaults, including attacks at local pubs and clubs including the Prince of Wales, the Sun Inn and Tenby rugby club, and it was clear he could be violent after drinking.

Lanterns and balloons released in emotional acts of remembrance

FAMILY, friends and members of the local community came together to remember Corrina Baker at a series of moving events held across west Wales this week.

Corrina’s funeral took place on Monday (Dec 15), a month after her death, with a public service held at St Mary’s Church. Mourners lined the route as her coffin was carried on its final journey in an elegant horse-drawn carriage, before a private cremation later took place at Parc Gwyn crematorium in Narberth.

Later that evening, shortly after 6:00pm, friends and relatives gathered at the Quayside in Cardigan for the first of two acts of remembrance to celebrate her life. Lanterns were lit and released into the night sky above the town as some of Corrina’s favourite songs were played.

On Tuesday afternoon (Dec 16), a second tribute was held near the location where Corrina was found. Twenty-one pink balloons — one for each year of her life — were released into a clear blue sky, each carrying personal messages in her memory.

Floral tributes continue to be laid at the Netpool, while a GoFundMe appeal set up in Corrina’s memory has raised more than £2,300. She has been described by those who knew her as “funny and bright”.

Dyfed-Powys Police have confirmed that their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ms Baker’s death is ongoing. A 29-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail while inquiries continue.
