A shocking development has emerged from Pencoed, where a tragic incident earlier this year saw the loss of restaurant manager David Rogers. David, a well-loved father of four, sadly passed away in February after an alleged attack.


Liam Walters, 26, has denied charges of both murder and manslaughter in court. He also faces accusations of perverting the course of justice, reportedly involving the destruction of a Ring Doorbell camera and its footage. The trial is set to begin on August 19 at Cardiff Crown Court, with Walters remanded in custody until then.

David leaves behind a legacy deeply felt by friends and colleagues. Known for his warmth, humour, and strength, he was more than just a manager—he was a friend. “His loss has come as a profound shock to everyone,” shared one colleague. Many have fond memories of the time spent with him and the impact he made on their lives.
As this case unfolds, we remember David Rogers for the joy and laughter he brought to those around him and send our deepest condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. Stay tuned for updates as we follow this case through the courts.
