A Milford Haven man who kicked another man in the face so hard that he was still suffering 17 months later has been jailed today (Friday).

Scott Alexander Younger, aged 27, had admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm to Wayne Davies during an attack in the centre of Haverfordwest.

However Younger, of Lower Hill Street, Hakin, denied kicking him and a “trial of issue” was held at Swansea crown court, which went against him.

Judge Huw Davies said he would sentence Younger on the basis that he first punched Mr Davies to the face and then kicked him in the face as he lay on the ground, breaking his jaw.

Judge Davies said he noted that Mr Davies had still not fully recovered and may need another operation.

The court heard that Younger and Mr Davies had been involved in a dispute over a “trivial” amount of money.

Younger, he added, had been caught on a CCTV camera “running a long way” to catch up with Mr Davies before assaulting him.

Judge Davies said he would failing in his public duty if he did not impose an immediate jail sentence.

Younger was jailed for 16 months.
