A 22 YEAR-OLD Forest woman is to stand trial accused of intentionally strangling a man.

Rhianna Jones of Manor Court, Lydney, appeared at Cheltenham Magistrates Court last week to face the charge of strangling the man in the town on 18th June 2025.

The court fixed a trial date for 27th November this year and granted Jones unconditional bail until that date.

Magistrates also made a special measures direction, permitting the alleged victim of the strangulation to give evidence from behind a screen so that he cannot see Jones.
