Tanis Bhandari death: Murder-accused Ryan Williams pleads guilty

Tanis Bhandari was stabbed twice in the attack, Plymouth Crown Court has heard

A man accused of killing a builder on New Year's Day has pleaded guilty to his murder halfway through his trial.

Ryan Williams, 22, of Haydon Grove, St Budeaux, Plymouth, changed his plea at Plymouth Crown Court.

A second man, Donald Pemberton, 21, continues to deny murdering Tanis Bhandari.

The court heard Mr Bhandari was stabbed twice and died after he left a pub in Tamerton Foliot, in Devon.

Mr Williams also pleaded guilty to three counts of wounding with intent, and one count of assault occasioning bodily harm.

Mr Pemberton denies three counts each of wounding with intent, and one count of actual bodily harm, in relation to four other men who were injured.

Mr Williams' sentencing has been adjourned until the end of the trial.

The case continues.
