A Milford Haven man has today admitted breaking into a house armed with a hammer in order to attack the householder.
David Fairbairn, aged 25, of Larch Road, Mount Estate, appeared before Judge Keith Thomas at Swansea crown court for a plea and case management hearing.
He admitted aggravated burglary on November 17 last year at a house in Warwick Road, Milford Haven, while armed with a hammer and intending to assault Brian Underwood.
Fairbairn also admitted assaulting Mr Underwood causing actual harm.
Martyn Hart, aged 24, of Canuset, Hakin, denied the same charges and he will go on trial on May 12.
Fairbairn, who is being held in custody, will be sentenced after Hart’s trial.
Judge Thomas agreed that meanwhile a probation officer should prepare a report into his background.
But he added that irrespective of what was in the report a prison sentence seemed inevitable.
Hart was granted bail until his trial.
