South Wales Police can confirm that two men from Somerset have been charged with the murder of Andrew Main.
Joseph Dix, 26, of Frome, and Macauley Ruddock, 27, of Bath, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Friday, 13 September. They both pleaded not guilty and a trial has now been set for January, 2025.
Andrew Main, 33, from Falkirk, Scotland, was involved in an incident on July 17. He was admitted to hospital where he remained, but on August 14 he died from his injuries and a murder investigation was launched by South Wales Police.
Andrew’s sister, Nikki Main, has paid the following tribute to her brother:
“Andrew – my baby brother – was sadly taken from us far too soon.
“He was adored by family and friends and beloved by more.
“We are absolutely devastated by his sudden passing and ask anyone with information to please, please come forward.
“He will forever live in our hearts and memories.
“He was a witty man with a huge heart – loyal to the core.
“He was a fabulous brother, fun uncle, and supportive daddy to his two children.
“There will never be anyone like Andrew. The hole that has been left in our hearts will never be filled.
“Everyone in our community has been grief-stricken, but we have rallied together as one at this sad time.
“As a family, we are destroyed by what has happened to Andrew. We can’t thank everyone enough for the love and support they have shown.”
