A 23-YEAR-OLD man has denied an attempted murder chrage in connection with a stabbing in Dilton Marsh near Westbury.

Alexander Conduit, of West Parade in Warminster, appeared before Bristol Crown Court this morning, where he also denied a charge of wounding with intent.

Residents in Dilton Marsh were left in a state of shock when 28-year-old Vilam Basara was stabbed at a house in Woodland View in December.

Mr Basara was left with a serious neck injury and rushed to the Royal United Hospital in Bath for treatment.

Conduit has been remanded in custody and will next appear at crown court on March 30.
