A MAN is to stand trial at the end of October after he denied causing the death of a farmer at a Gwent supermarket car park.
Timothy Higgins, aged 22, formerly of The Glade, Wyllie, Blackwood, has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter of 48-year-old Christopher Gadd.
The defendant had been due to go on trial next month but the case has been postponed with a new start date fixed for October 21 after a hearing at Cardiff Crown Court.
