Before Ipswich Crown Court on Monday for a plea and trial preparation hearing, via a video prison link, was Scott Foskett.

Foskett, 34, of Ashfield Crescent, Lowestoft, pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent on July 22.

Judge Rupert Overbury adjourned the case for a trial, which is expected to get under way on January 15.

Suffolk Constabulary and the East of England Ambulance Service were called to Pinewood Avenue – on the Whitton estate area of Lowestoft – just after 9pm on July 22 following reports that a man had been assaulted.

The victim, in his 30s, allegedly suffered a head injury.
