Trial put off after accused fails to show up

The trial of a Tunisian man accused of attempted murder had to be put off this morning after the accused did not turn up.

Saleh Ali Missawi Ali Able Fetah, 33, had been on bail after having been accused of the attempted murder of another man at City Gate.

He is alleged to have hit the victim with a wine bottle. The accused had opted to have his case decided by judges, not a jury.

The trial was put off until the accused is found.
