Portugese national Neves was also found to have two bags of cannabis on his person.

The court ordered the knife to be confiscated and an order was also made to destroy the drugs.

Under English Law, it is a general principle that criminal court proceedings for adults should be held openly and in public. Verdicts and sentences are normally given out in open court and so are in the public domain. Newspapers such as ours therefore have the right to publish outcomes of all such criminal court cases.
