THE TRIAL of a Canadian man accused of choking his former girlfriend and rendering her unconscious last May is continuing in Fort William.
Jeffrey Raymond Kell, 33, has denied the assault, alleged to have taken place during the early hours of May 20, 2016, at a Fort William hotel.
On Monday April 3, when the trial began, Fort William Sheriff Court heard evidence from the complainant, a 27-year-old Canadian woman, who said an argument broke out between herself and Kell, who were on holiday in Fort William, after they had been drinking together at the hotel bar.
