A 32-YEAR-OLD man has appeared in court accused of attempting to murder his preganant wife and her eight-year-old son in a car explosion.
Former army bomb disposal expert Nicholas Fabian faced the charges at Dartford Magistrates’ Court this morning and was remanded in custody to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on March 22.
His wife Victoria, 32, suffered serious but not life-threatening leg injuries when the car she was in exploded in a car park in the village of Vigo, near Meopham, at around 1.10pm on Friday.
She is being treated by specialists at a hospital in London, and doctors believe her unborn child is unharmed.
Her eight-year-old son, who was also in the car, was taken to hospital after the blast as a precaution but was later discharged.
Fabian, of High View, Vigo, is also charged with unlawfully possessing ammunition.
