A Spilsby man's been charged with attempted murder.

Emergency services were called out to reports of an altercation yesterday afternoon.

A woman in her 30's received what was thought to be a knife wound, and she was taken to hospital. Her injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Dean Simpson aged 49 of Manor Drive, Halton Holegate in Spilsby has been charged with attempted murder and has been remanded in custody.

He appeared at Lincoln Magistrates Court this afternoon (January 10th) where the case was sent to Crown Court for trial next month.

Detective Inspector Paul Coleman from CID said:

“Our thoughts are of course with the alleged victim and her family at this time. Our officers were on scene very quickly and arrested the suspect. Officers have then worked tirelessly throughout the evening to ensure that we were in a position to charge in the early hours of this morning.

“We will of course continue to support the family through this difficult time and to that end, can I remind people to be considerate in regard to any comments on social media.

“We are appealing for witnesses and would urge members of the public to call 101 with any information, no matter how small, to help with our ongoing enquiries.”
