The trial of Flaviu Naghi, accused of causing the death of a 6-month-old baby, has been adjourned until January 5, 2026.
Judge Catherine Richards, sitting in Swansea Crown Court, explained that the adjournment, although “regretful”, was necessary to allow sufficient time for the gathering of expert evidence.
Baby Sophia Kelemen, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, died after being hit by a vehicle in a car park in Tenby. On January 2, 2025, Sophia’s family were preparing to leave Tenby at the end of their family holiday, when the incident occurred.
Sophia was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales for emergency treatment, but attempts to save her life were unsuccessful. An inquest held at Pembrokeshire Coroner’s Court determined that she had died from an intra-cranial haemorrhage cause by a road traffic collision.
Naghi, of Rondini Avenue, Luton, faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by careless driving while unfit through drugs. He has been released on bail until the trial is resumed.
