Lauren Jeska to stand trial charged with attempted murder at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium
A former fell-running champion from Mid Wales charged with attempted murder is set to stand trial next month.
Lauren Jeska, of Wesley Terrace in Machynlleth, Powys, was not required to enter a plea when she appeared at Birmingham Crown Court via video-link from prison on Tuesday.
Jeska, 41, was charged in March with attempting to murder Ralph Knibbs at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium.
Officers from West Midlands Police were called to the stadium at about 10.30am on March 22 after reports that a 51-year-old man had been stabbed.
Jeska is further charged with two counts of unlawful and malicious wounding with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm on two other men, and possession of three knives in a public place.
Judge Philip Parker QC told Jeska, who sat with her hands crossed in her lap during the hearing, that her lawyers would be going to see her to discuss her case.
He added: "At the moment your trial is still listed for September 22 and if there's any need for a hearing before then, your case will be slotted in to the (court) list."
