A man is to stand trial in April charged with murdering a 93-year-old in Desborough.
Samuel Field, of Gold Street, Desborough, is accused of assaulting Martin Glynn inside a house on September 20, 2024.
Field was initially charged with GBH but Mr Glynn, who suffered a traumatic head injury, sadly died three moths later.
The 40-year-old was then brought back to court and charged with murder, which he denies.
Wearing a grey tracksuit, Field was in court today (Thursday, March 5) for a case management hearing before Her Honour Judge Adrienne Lucking.
His trial is due to take place on April 20, and will last between three and four weeks.
He is also charged with possession of a Class B drug.
