Four remanded over M40 biker death

Four men have appeared in court charged in connection with the murder of a Hell's Angel motorcyclist.

Simon Turner, 40, Dane Garside, 41, and Sean Creighton, 43, are charged with murdering biker Gerry Tobin on the M40 motorway in Warwickshire.

The trio appeared via videolink at Birmingham Crown Court alongside Dean Taylor, 45, of Warwick Street, Coventry, who is charged with a firearms offence.

The defendants spoke only to confirm their names during the brief preliminary hearing.

In addition to the murder charge, Turner, of Vernons Lane, Stockingford, Nuneaton; 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.

All four were remanded in custody, and will appear at the same court to enter pleas on November 26.

Mr Tobin, 35, of Mottingham, south-east London, was gunned down as he rode home from the Bulldog Bash bikers' festival at Long Marston, Warwickshire, on August 12.
