A 21-year-old man has denied making a threat to kill and assault against a woman.

Kane Ingram of Saddlers Walk, Worcester, appeared at Worcester Crown Court yesterday where he denied both offences, said by the prosecution to have taken place on July 17 this year.

The trial was placed in a warned list which means it could begin on, or in the three weeks following, December 17 this year.

The trial is expected to last three days.
