Defendants’ names in Watkins abuse case on court site

The names of the defendants in the case of disgraced rock star Ian Watkins were mistakenly included on the court service’s listing site, it confirmed yesterday.

The development came as Peaches Geldof continued to be at the centre of a row for tweeting the names of the two mothers whose babies were involved in abuse by the singer.

The daughter of Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof posted a series of tweets explaining that she had assumed the names were already “public knowledge”.
