A WELSHPOOL man has been jailed for more than two-and-a-half years after assaulting his girlfriend’s brother last September – while under investigation for taking part in a gang assault seven months earlier. Nathan George Bryce was jailed for 31 months at Mold Crown Court today (April 15) for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and affray. The ABH incident occurred on September 20 last year when Bryce bit and stamped on the head of Gary Cadwallader – his partner’s brother – which occurred in the victim’s back garden and caused him to black out. The affray occurred in and outside The Angel pub in Welshpool on the night of February 21, 2020, whereby the 25-year-old jointly assaulted Jake Mann and Harry Gannon together with Jay Anthony Edward Beeson and Joe McMahon. In between both incidents, it was revealed Bryce had already served an eight-week prison sentence last October following an incident of displaying threatening writing in April.

Correction 10:16 a.m.: This story initially mischaracterized how the children died. They died in a fire.
DESOTO Two young children died Tuesday in an early morning house fire after they were trapped in a bedroom on the second floor.
No other injuries were reported. The City of DeSoto would like to extend our condolences to the family of the children who perished in this morning’s fire, a city news release read.
Versey Washington, who lives across the street from the home, said she woke up to find the flashing lights and that when she went outside the home was engulfed in fire.
Washington said later in the morning she sat and talked with a firefighter she described as torn apart. We sat right there on the planter in the front and I just kind of consoled him and told him that I knew he had a tough job. I could tell he was really broken apart, Washington said.
