Provisional date set for murder trial of Wellingborough man Darren King

A provisional trial date has been set for later this year in connection with the murder of 38-year-old Darren King in Wellingborough.

The murder trial has been listed to start at Northampton Crown court from October 26, and is expected to last two weeks.

This follows a pre-trial and plea hearing today (Friday, August 14) at the county’s crown court, when 20-year-old Dante King entered a plea of not guilty to the murder of Mr King in Birchfield Road, Wellingborough, on May 3 this year.

Dante King will remain in custody until his trial.
