Preston Crown Court (Image: Archive)
A Blackburn man will stand trial later this year after denying a series of violent offences.
Christopher Kinnish, 37, appeared at Preston Crown Court on Tuesday (June 18).
Kinnish, of Salford, Blackburn, entered not guilty pleas to three counts of engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour; two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm; and one count each of wounding with intent and assault by beating.
The alleged offences all happened in Blackburn.
Kinnish will next appear in court for a pre-trial review on August 22 ahead of a trial date which was set for October 22.
