A trio accused of attempted robbery at Didcot railway station won’t stand trial until next October.

Abdehmane Chikh, 25, Rabah Bouhassane, 25, and Abdennour Hrawji, 27, deny attempting to rob a man of a Rolex watch worth £11,000 at Didcot Parkway on September 9 last year.

At Oxford Crown Court on Friday (October 20), Judge Nigel Daly fixed the trial in the men’s absence to begin on October 28, 2024.

The date was fixed with the agreement of advocates representing the three men.

Chikh, of Craven Terrace, London, Bouhassane, of Earley, Wokingham, and Hrawji, of Hogarth Road, London, were not present at court for the short hearing.
