Men accused of attempted murder have charges dropped

Anthony Madine, 20, of Cradge Bank, Spalding, and Junior Titilawo, 25, of Aspen Green, Huntingdon, were each accused of the attempted murder of 24 year old Liam Heffernan. They were also accused of possession of a prohibited firearm.

Both men pleaded not guilty to each of the charges at a Crown Court hearing earlier this year and they had been due to stand trial in September.

But at a hearing today the prosecution offered no evidence against both men on both charges and not guilty verdicts were formally entered.

The charges followed an alleged incident in February in the Spalding area.
