A man charged with the murder of a man who died from a suspected stab wound at a house in Skegness has been remanded into custody by a Crown Court Judge.

Richard Lee Norris, 53, of Alexandra Road, Skegness, appeared at Lincoln Crown Court after his case was transferred from Lincoln Magistrates Court.

There was no bail application on behalf of Norris and Judge Simon Hirst adjourned the case for a plea and trial preparation hearing at Lincoln Crown Court on 19 January.

His case was provisionally listed for a trial at Lincoln Crown Court beginning on 5 June next year.

The trial is estimated to last two weeks.
