A Kurdish man has appeared in court accused of raping a woman in Haverfordwest.

Dana Ahmedi, aged 19, was before Judge Peter Heywood at Swansea crown court for a preliminary hearing.

The alleged rape took place on May 1st.

Ahmedi, of Townhill, Swansea, was not asked to enter a plea at this stage. But his solicitor, Simon Mumford, said Ahmedi would deny the charge at a plea and case management hearing on July 9th.

Ahmedi is being detained in custody but Mr Mumford told the court a bail application would be made in the next few days.
