And finally… it’s all Welsh to me

A man who was arrested in Wales refused to appear in court, complaining he could not understand the Welsh accent.

Dwaine Campbell, 25, a drug dealer, was arrested in Aberystwyth in possession of 51 wraps of heroin which he admitted he intended to supply.

Mr Campbell, of Wolverhampton, refused to leave his prison cell in Swansea Crown Court as he was due to be sentenced by judge Peter Heywood.

Janet Gedrych, his barrister, said he could not understand anyone.

She said: “He is worried that if he is sentenced here he will end up in a jail in Wales and have the same difficulties.”

The judge said he would sentence Mr Campbell via video link “so he can stay in the west Midlands.”
