28-year-old Alexander MacCallum will face two counts of causing death by careless driving

POLICE have confirmed that a man has been summoned to appear in court in connection with the deaths of two young Pembrokeshire residents who were killed in a head-on crash last summer.

Katie Worrell, aged 25, from Pembroke, and 27-year-old Tenby man Adam Muskett died at the scene following a collision on the A477 between Llanddowror and Red Roses on 13 June 2024.

The incident involved a black Jaguar travelling west towards Pembrokeshire and a black Ford Fiesta heading in the opposite direction. Dyfed-Powys Police has now confirmed that 28-year-old Alexander MacCallum will face two counts of causing death by careless driving.

Both families issued emotional tributes at the time, describing Katie and Adam as devoted to one another and cherished by all who knew them.

Katie’s family said their daughter was “kind, caring and beautiful”, adding:
“She lived life to the full, loved to travel, and had achieved so much. She adored her friends and Adam beyond words and our lives will never be the same without her.”

Adam’s relatives described him as a “loving son, brother, grandson and nephew” who had a “big kind heart and cheeky smile”.
“He loved life, his friends, Tenby, football and Katie very much,” their statement said. “We are heartbroken and forever proud.”

MacCallum is due to appear before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on 18 December 2025.

Court told offence was committed during suspended sentence period

A CARMARTHENSHIRE man has been jailed after admitting possessing a lock knife in a public place.

David Jones, aged 61, of Cwmcatty, Porthyrhyd, appeared before Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Friday (Jun 5).

He admitted that on June 4, at Llanelli, he had a lock knife with him in a public place without good reason or lawful authority.

Jones was jailed for four months.

The court record stated the offence was so serious that only custody could be justified, and that it was committed during the operational period of a suspended sentence.

The court also ordered that the lock knife be forfeited and deprived from him.

A second charge, alleging threatening or abusive behaviour towards PCSO Nicholl of Dyfed-Powys Police, was withdrawn.
