A MAN accused of shooting a young mother at her Bradford home denied new charges yesterday.

Hasan Khan, 24, of Newlands Avenue, Fagley, Bradford, faced a fresh indictment at Bradford Crown Court.

He pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder of 22-year-old Ashleigh McPherson, who suffered two gunshot wounds to her stomach during an incident at her home in Longfield Drive, East Bowling, Bradford, on the afternoon of Friday, May 16, and to wounding her with intent.

He admitted a charge of having a firearm with intent. Ann-Marie Pulford, 25, of Blackpool, pleaded not guilty to assisting an offender, by transporting Khan to Blackpool and supplying him with petrol, in order to destroy forensic evidence, with intent to impede the apprehension or prosecution of him. The trial of both defendants is due to begin Monday. Khan was remanded in custody and Pulford granted conditional bail.
