Four men set to stand trial in summer over Northampton household murder

Four out-of-county men have pleaded not guilty to murder over an attack at a Northampton neighbourhood home in December.

Christopher Allbury-Burridge died following a stab wound to his chest at his home in Raeburn Road, Kingsley, in the early hours of December 11. He was 33.

Today at Northampton Crown Court (February 16), four men charged with his murder were told they would stand trial in summer.

They are; Calum Farquhar, 23, of Liverpool Road, Leyton; 25-year-old Joel Cyrus, of Whitney Road, also in Leyton; Jordan Khareem Parker, 24, of Chingford Road, Walthamstow; and Rakeem Leandre, 25, from Brewers Court in Norwich.

All four men deny the charge of murder and conspiracy to robbery in connection to the incident.

Parker is further accused of possessing a knife.

The four defendants were all arrested in the week after Mr Allbury-Burridge's death. Leandre was arrested in Blackpool, while the others were detained in London.

They are set to stand trial in August this year.
