A man who refused to give evidence against the person he accused of robbing him at knife-point ended up being sent to prison for contempt of court.
Luke Richards had been due to testify against the man he said robbed him at his home in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in November last year.
But when the matter came to trial at Swansea Crown Court this week he refused to enter the witness box, forcing the prosecution to offer no evidence in the case and leading to the trial being abandoned.
