Overview
- A Cardiff Crown Court jury found the 54-year-old guilty of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm to 72-year-old dog walker Martin Dandridge.
- Prosecutors said Williams repeatedly struck Dandridge with a hockey stick on his Llancarfan property on December 4, 2024, causing injuries that included a fractured arm.
- Williams denied attacking him, claiming the injuries resulted from a fall when the dog pulled him, but the jury rejected his account.
- Recorder Angharad Price continued Williams on conditional bail, noting he faces the prospect of imprisonment at the April 14 hearing.
- The BHA said Cath Williams now holds the yard’s licence and will oversee Cheltenham runners, including Libberty Hunter in Wednesday’s Champion Chase and Ask Brewster on Thursday, while Evan Williams is permitted at licensed premises.
