Simon Turner, 40, Dane Garside, 41 and 43-year-old Sean Creighton, are all charged with the murder of motorcyclist Gerry Tobin on the M40 motorway in Warwickshire on August 12.

Dean Taylor, 45, of Warwick Street, Coventry, appeared alongside them at Nuneaton Magistrates' Court charged with a firearms offence.

Turner, of Vernons Lane, Stockingford, Nuneaton, and Garside of Silverdale Close, Alderman's Green, Coventry and Creighton, of Doncaster Close, Coventry, are also charged jointly with possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.

The four spoke only to confirm their names at the brief hearing.

The case was adjourned until September 3 when it will be heard at a Crown Court in the region.

No application for bail was made and the four were remanded in custody.

The men were all arrested by Warwickshire Police after a series of raids in Coventry and Nuneaton on Wednesday.

Mr Tobin, 35, of Mottingham, south-east London, was gunned down as he rode home from the Bulldog Bash bikers' festival at Long Marston near Stratford.

He was killed with a single shot to the back of the head fired from a handgun. A second shot fired at the biker struck his motorcycle.
