A TOTAL of six defendants will be sentenced in connection with an incident in Rhyl after initial charges of attempted murder were dropped and alternative charges were admitted.
Police charged six people following an incident on Crescent Road in the early hours of Sunday, April 9.
Alleged victim Ryan Thomas Tudor-Vincent, 21, was hospitalised following the incident, but was said to be in a stable condition days after.
Mr Tudor-Vincent was due to face a pre-trial cross examination today (September 8), but this will no longer go ahead after the defendants admitted alternative charges at Mold Crown Court yesterday.
