Four men have appeared in court accused of intimidating a witness in a murder trial.

Byron Haines, George Kirika, Callum Spencer and Dexter Williams are charged with intimidating John Amadason in the trial of Eze Eke.

Eke was this month convicted of murdering Blayne Ridgway outside Que Pasa in central Oxford.

Haines, 20, of Henley Street, East Oxford, is also charged with breaching an Antisocial behaviour order.

All four, none of whom entered a plea at Oxford Magistrates’ Court yesterday, will appear at Oxford Crown Court on January 14.

Kirika, 19, of Woodins Way, Oxford, was given bail. Spencer, 18, of Nettlebed Mead, Greater Leys; Williams, 21, of Coriander Way, Greater Leys, and Haines were all remanded in custody.
