Man Charged in Acid Attack at Eco-Village

Tipi Valley, Britain’s largest off-grid community located in Carmarthenshire, has been shaken by a suspected acid attack that left one resident injured. The incident occurred last Wednesday, prompting a swift response from Dyfed-Powys police, who were called to the scene after a highly corrosive substance was used against a member of the community. The area, known for its eco-friendly lifestyle and home to notable activist Swampy, spans 200 acres of picturesque Welsh countryside. Following the attack, authorities launched a manhunt for the suspect believed to be connected to the community. Within 48 hours, police apprehended 23-year-old Jivan Dean, who has no fixed address. He was charged with grievous bodily harm and the use of a corrosive substance with intent to harm. The incident has raised concerns about safety within the close-knit community, which prides itself on its sustainable living practices. Dean appeared in Llanelli magistrates’ court on Monday, where he confirmed his identity but did not enter a plea. He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Swansea crown court for further proceedings. The attack has left residents shaken, as they navigate the implications of such violence in their otherwise peaceful environment. As investigations continue, the community is rallying to support the injured resident and ensure safety measures are reinforced to prevent future incidents.
