A BOURNEMOUTH man accused of murder will appear before Crown Court later this week.

Damon Wright, 31, appeared at Southampton Magistrates today, charged with the murder of Kevin Wyeth, who was found in an alley way off Defender Road in Woolston, Southampton, on Saturday morning.

He did not make an application for bail, and his case will now be heard at Winchester Crown Court on Friday.

Wright, wearing a navy blue jumper and with cropped dark hair, spoke only to confirm his name, age and address, which he gave as no fixed abode.
