He will face trial next year
A man has denied murdering his ex-partner and her nine-year-old son when he appeared in the dock at Lincoln Crown Court today.

The judge told Boulton: “I am adjourning your case for trial. The trial date is January 13. In the mean time you are remanded in custody.”
The trial is expected to last between three to four weeks.
Boulton was arrested in the Hubbards Hills area of Louth on June 1 as a result of what detectives described as “a tragic, extraordinary, and worrying set of circumstances.”
Police were called to High Holme Road in Louth at 8.29pm on May 31 by paramedics, where they found Ms Vincent and her son dead. Both had suffered multiple stab wounds.
Another young child was found at the home unhurt, Lincolnshire Police said.
