Man denies malicious wounding over 2019 incident at plush Northamptonshire wedding venue

A man from east London has denied a charge of malicious wounding following an incident during a wedding party at a plush Northamptonshire hotel in 2019.

Harpal Singh, 31, from Seven Kings, pleaded not guilty when he appeared at Northampton Magistrates' Court in March.

Magistrates remanded Singh on unconditional bail until a trial date, initially set for April 30 in Northampton.

Police were called to Aynhoe Park, near Brackley, in August 2019 following reports of a man unconscious following an incident at 1am.

■ We understand that some people may be angry or upset to see their name published here but covering court cases acts as a deterrent against crime and it is important that justice is being seen to be done.

Under English Law, it is a general principle that criminal court proceedings for adults should be held openly and in public. Verdicts and sentences are normally given out in open court and so are in the public domain. Newspapers such as ours therefore have the right to publish outcomes of all such criminal court cases.
