Man charged with attempted murder in Shrewsbury

Paul Crossland, 18, of Clamley Court, Speke, Liverpool, is accused of the attempted murder of a man in Shrewsbury on November 15. He entered no plea during the hearing at Shrewsbury Magistrates Court yesterday.

The case has been adjourned and Crossland will next appear before Shrewsbury Crown Court on December 1.

Three other people arrested in connection with the same incident remain on police bail.

Two other 18-year-olds men from Liverpool had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, along with a 17-year-old male from Shrewsbury, who had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

The arrests relate to an incident in the Meole area of Shrewsbury on Sunday where a 19-year-old man was discovered in a pool of blood by members of the public.
