Tom Phillips for the prosecution, the defendant was accused of murder and also accused of having a poultry article, he said. No satisfaction was entered.
Lawyer Fiona Clegg, who represented the defendant, said to the court: “Reporting restrictions have been expanded today, but attracted my attention, there were individuals who did not comply with this on Facebook.”
“In any forum, this defendant should not be named in any forum.
“But unfortunately I’m trying to make police with a small ‘P’ – and the Internet is a very wide place with the court’s very little control – but it will not be named in any way or form in any way.”
He turned to the defendant and said: “You are in custody for now.
“Considering the very serious nature of this crime, I am satisfied and you should stay in custody to protect the people and yourself.”
