Charges dropped against man accused of assault offences
Murtada Abady, 36, pleaded not guilty to two counts of section 39 assault by beating at a hearing before Chester Crown Court in January at the start of this year.
He also denied controlling and coercive behaviour and of committing an act or intending to commit an act intending to pervert the course of justice at the same hearing.
Judge Patrick Thompson scheduled a trial before a jury to take place before the same court, which had been expected to take place in the week beginning Monday, June 1.
But this week the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that the charges had been dropped.
They confirmed that Mr Abady, of Robin Hood Lane, Frodsham in Cheshire, will face no further criminal action in relation to these matters.
