Three men deny murder of teenager in Swansea crash

Three men have denied the murder of an 18-year-old after a serious road crash in Swansea.

Ceiran Evans died in a collision between a car and an off-road bike on Pen Cae Crwn Road in Gorseinon on 9 July.

World champion kickboxer Tyler Ford, 18, from Morriston, Swansea, pleaded not guilty to murder, as well as the attempted murder and grievous bodily harm with intent of a second person.

Elliot Truelove, 33, from West Cross, Swansea, and Liam Thomas, 18, from Morriston, Swansea, also pleaded not guilty to the same charges at Swansea Crown Court.

A fourth person – Trisha Thomas, 36, from Gorseinon – denied assisting an offender.

The court heard that she is accused of taking Elliot Truelove, who was allegedly a passenger in the vehicle, away from the crime scene.

Judge Paul Thomas KC said a trial had already been set for 11 January 2027. The court heard it could take up to six weeks.

The defendants are being kept in custody.
