Bute Park attack: Two in court on attempted murder charges

Park entrances were sealed off the day after the attack for investigation work

Two men have appeared in court charged with attempted murder after an attack in one of Wales' largest city parks.

Jason Edwards, 25, from Riverside, and Lee William Strickland, 36, of no fixed abode, did not enter a plea at Cardiff Magistrates' Court.

A 54-year-old man remains in hospital on life support after the attack in Bute Park in Cardiff last week.

Both men were remanded in custody and will appear before Cardiff Crown Court on Monday, 23 August.

The main entrances of the 130-acre park will now be locked every night at sunset by Cardiff council following the "sustained" and "savage" attack which happened in the early hours of Tuesday.
