It is important to note that separate court records exist for individuals named "Leon Hayes" in Worthing, facing charges of intentional strangulation in 2026, and "Lewis Haines" who was sentenced for murder in Pembroke in 2022. These are distinct individuals and cases from those involving Leon Haines of Pembroke/Swansea.
