Judge Rebecca Trowler KC said the defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, would remain in custody and that this was partly “given the nature and seriousness of the allegations he faces, the apparent strength of the evidence including in the CCTV footage of the incident during which (he) is seen to use a machete to stab one of the victims, and given that on view of the evidence there is an inference to be drawn that he also stabbed the deceased”.
