A MAN has been charged with attacking his mum and sister in Pembrokeshire, having already admitted a burglary in Cardiff.

Andrew Doig, 41, of Hazeldove Avenue in the Brackla area of Bridgend, appeared at Swansea Crown Court charged with three offences.

Doig was accused of two offences of assault by beating against two women in Simpson Cross and one of intentional strangulation.

Appearing in the dock, Doig pleaded guilty to one of the assaults and the strangulation offence.

Prosecutor Nik Strobl said these pleas were acceptable, and a trial would not be sought on the remaining charges.
