No verdict reached in stabbing case


A JURY has been unable to reach a verdict in the case of a man accused of stabbing a woman shop worker during a


cash snatch in Sabden. Michael Davies was alleged to


have “targeted” the woman by dis­ tracting her before apparently strik­ ing her with the tube of a pen. He was accused of taking £700 from the till at Shippy's general store, on Padiham Road, Sabden. The 30-year-old, formerly of


Derby Street, Clitheroe, had denied a charge of robbing Marjorie Bostock of £400 cash and a quanti­ ty of Switch document receipts on the evening of May 31st this year. Following more than three hours of deliberations, the jury was dis­


charged at the end of a two-day Preston Crown Court trial, having indicated they would be unable to reach a verdict in the case. Miss Louise Whaites (prosecut­


ing) had alleged it was a clear case of robbery that had been frighten­ ing, traumatic and over within sec­ onds. It was alleged the defendant had gone to a crisps shelf in the shop and asked for help to get a bag from the bottom shelf. Then, as the woman walked back


towards the till, with her back to him, it was claimed she felt a stab or punch to the shoulder area. The woman told the court: “I


thought I saw in his hand what appeared to me to be an empty pen tube.” She said she thought she may


have struck him while trying to put up a struggle. She spoke of being pushed or struck and this resulted in her falling on her side. She man­ aged to take the registration num­ ber of a car the defendant got into and passed the information on to police. But Davies told the court it


amounted to nothing more than theft. He said he merely went to an open till, grabbed some cash and then left. He suggested the woman was


injured by stumbling against some­ thing stocked up behind her. He denied using force against her. The case will be mentioned


tomorrow when a decision is due on whether the prosecution will seek a re-trial.


Driver denies causing death crash


A LORRY driver from the Ribble Valley has denied causing the deaths of three members of an RAF family in a crash in Lincolnshire. Neil Margerison (23), of Low


Farm, Ribchester Road, Clayton- le-Dale, is alleged to have caused the deaths of Fit Lt Neville Rees, his wife Karen and their son 11- year-old son, Andrew, by driving


dangerously. They were killed after being crushed in an incident involv­ ing two lorries on the A17 close to RAF Cranwell, near Lincoln, on January 5th this year. Appearing at Lincoln Crown (lourt, Margerison denied three charges of causing death by dangerous driving. Judge Michael Heath granted him unconditional ba il and


adjourned the case for a trial on March 26th next year. Fit Lt Rees (43), who trained fly­


ing instructors at Cranwell, his 41- year-old wife and their son were travelling in their Peugeot car when the accident happened. The couple had a second son,


aged 14, who was with friends when the tragedy took place.
