New trial date set for Corby attempted murder
Proceedings against four men said to have been involved in a shooting in Corby have been delayed.
The four had been due to stand trial this week at Northampton Crown Court charged with offences in relation to the shooting of a teenage boy in woodland in the town last year.
But court logistics meant that the trial could not go ahead.
It has now been adjourned until June 2 when the four week trial will begin.
Matas Sukaitis, 21, of Chaucer Close, Corby, is charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and possession of a blade.
Robert Quittenton, 76, and Sam Stimpson, 37, both of Brambleside Court, Kettering, are charged with assisting an offender.
Ben Smith, aged 40, previously of of Newark Drive, Corby, and latterly of Denford Road, Ringstead, is charged with assisting an offender.
Sukaitis is being held on remand ahead of the trail, but the three other defendants have been released on conditional bail.
