Three Bradford men accused of murdering a teenager made their first crown court appearance today (Friday).

Earlier this week, Karlson Ogie, 18, of Bierley House Avenue, Karl Belinga, 19, of Brendon Walk, Holme Wood, and Brandon Paradzai, 19, of Coleshill Way, Bierley, along with Huddersfield male Paul Mbwasse, 18, of Walpole Road, Crosland Moor, were charged with the murder of Trust Gangata.

The 17-year-old was stabbed and fatally wounded at a house in Salisbury Grove in the Armley area of Leeds in the early hours of Sunday (March 19). 

The four men were all remanded in custody and did not enter any pleas when they appeared at Leeds Crown Court this morning.

A further plea and trial preparation hearing has been listed for April 20.

A trial date has been listed for September 18.
