Peter Bellett attacked Michael Irons with a knife in his Garnant pharmacy
A pensioner has admitted stabbing a pharmacist at a chemist’s shop.
Peter Bellett attacked Michael Irons with a knife at Garnant Pharmacy in December last year.
The 69-year-old, of Wern Road, Garnant, pleaded guilty to possessing an offensive weapon and to inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent when he appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday.
Sentencing was adjourned for the preparation of psychiatric reports, and Bellett was remanded into custody.
The pharmacy was sealed off by police following the December 5 incident, which happened at around 12.40pm.
Bellett was arrested at the scene and the pharmacy was closed.
The incident shocked the village at the time, with Garnant county councillor Kevin Madge saying: “As the mayor of Cwmamman I am shocked. You do not expect it to be in your own village.”
