Vainikolo GBH case adjourned

Court proceedings against England rugby star Lesley Vainikolo were adjourned today to allow the injured winger to fly to New Zealand to “deal with sensitive family matters”.

Vainikolo, 29, known as The Volcano, was charged with causing grievous bodily harm following an incident outside the Second Bridge nightclub in Bath on October 26 last year after which a man in his 20s was taken to hospital with head injuries.
