Thame murder suspect in court

Thame murder suspect Nathan Braim appeared at Oxford Crown court yesterday, charged with killing Joshua Harling a week ago in Thame.
Braim spoke only to confirm his name at a brief hearing held at Oxford Crown Court this afternoon.
At the hearing presiding Judge Ian Pringle QC agreed a trial date for the case. That trial will be held at the same court on January 4 2021 and is expected to last up to two weeks.
No formal plea has yet been entered and a further hearing was also scheduled for the defendant to deny or accept his guilt. That plea hearing will take place at the same court on October 23.
Braim was remanded in custody in the meantime.
