A 31-year-old Charlotte Street man will argue self-defence for charges of attempted murder when he goes to trial in September. Nicholas Wayne Welsh earlier pleaded not guilty to stabbing a 53 year-old-man in the neck.
The man was found bleeding near the corner of Duke and Charlotte Street on May 19th.
Welsh also faces charges for failing to report his change of address to the Sex Offenders Registry. He has been sent back to jail until a three day trial scheduled to start September 13th.
