Biker murder: Jury to be sworn in


A jury is expected to be sworn in to try seven defendants accused of murdering a biker who was shot dead on the M40.

The trial of the men, who all deny murdering 35-year-old Gerry Tobin, is expected to last for up to eight weeks at Birmingham Crown Court.

Sean Creighton, 44, and Karl Garside, 45, pleaded not guilty to murder during a previous hearing in February, while Simon Turner, 41, Dane Garside, 42, Malcolm Bull, 53, Dean Taylor, 47, and 46-year-old Ian Cameron entered their not guilty pleas last December.

The addresses of the defendants, who are formally accused of killing Mr Tobin on August 12 last year, cannot be published for legal reasons.

Mr Tobin, from Mottingham, south-east London, was returning from the Bulldog Bash bikers' festival when he was gunned down near junction 12 of the M40 in Warwickshire.

A post-mortem examination found that the mechanic died from a single gunshot wound to the back of his head.



The BBC site had something on their 'latest news' this morning about one of the defendants pleading guilty - but the link didn't work and now there's no mention of it. Confused
