Man accused of Kevin Jackson murder
A 20-year-old man appeared in court today accused of murdering father-of-two Kevin Jackson.
Mr Jackson, 31, was attacked on December 30 last year, after chasing suspected car thieves outside his home in Skircoat Green, Halifax, and died in hospital on New Year's Day.
Today Raees Khan, of Priestman Close, Manningham, Bradford, appeared before Halifax magistrates charged with Mr Jackson's murder.
Bearded Khan, wearing a black fleece top zipped up to his chin, stood in the dock, with three security guards, during the 10-minute hearing.
He walked into the court room handcuffed to one of the guards but the handcuffs were released as the proceedings began.
Khan, who is also charged with conspiracy to steal a Toyota car belonging to Roy Wayman, Mr Jackson's father-in-law, spoke only to confirm his name and give his date of birth and address.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Bradford Crown Court on Monday next week.
There was no application for bail.
Two other men have already been remanded in custody after being charged with the same conspiracy to steal Mr Wayman's car.
Rangzaib Akhtar, 19, of Salt Street, Bradford, and Rashad Zaman, 20, of Apsley Crescent, Bradford, are also due to appear at Bradford Crown Court on Monday.
