Six men have pleaded not guilty to affray after a driveway brawl between neighbouring families in which a man was stabbed.

Dean Hays, 46, Michael Hays, 20, and Sean Hays, 20, all of London Road, Ewell, appeared at Redhill Magistrates’ Court this morning, charged with affray. 

Michael Hays was also charged with wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent, to which he pleaded not guilty.

All three appeared in the dock together.  Dean Hays wore a white shirt, black jacket and black trousers and had a shaven head. 

Michael Hays wore a grey shirt and black trousers, while Sean Hays was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers.  

In a separate hearing at the same court, Adam Jeeves, 20, and Ashley Jeeves, 22, also of London Road, Ewell, and Richard Roll, 36, of Esher, also pleaded not guilty to affray.

They also appeared together in the dock.  Adam Jeeves, 6ft, wore a white shirt, black trousers, and was clean-shaven with a closely cropped hairstyle. 

Clean-shaven Ashley Jeeves wore a grey suit, blue shirt and blue tie, while Mr Roll was dressed a black suit, white shirt and black-and-white polka dot tie, had dark hair and was also clean-shaven.

A fight broke out between the Hays family and the Jeeves family and Mr Roll which spilled out into the road in London Road, Ewell, in the early hours of April 7.

Another member of the Jeeves family, Peter Jeeves, was stabbed in the chest during the brawl.

Prosecuting, Richard Manley said: "At 3.45am on April 7, members of the Jeeves family and Mr Roll turned up at the Hays’ address. 

"The defendants then went outside and started fighting with the Jeeves and it is alleged that Michael Hays took a knife from the kitchen, took it outside and stabbed Peter Jeeves, a senior member of the family who was hospitalised." 

All six are on conditional bail and will next appear at Redhill Magistrates’ Court in June for the case to be committed to crown court.
