Moses Fernandes, 22, spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth during a brief appearance at Norwich Magistrates’ Court.

The court was told no plea was to be entered to a charge of murder over the death of Bowthorpe pensioner Terry McFadyen.

He gave his name only as “Moses” when asked by the court clerk for his name and date of birth, and confirmed his details when the clerk read his name and date of birth out from her computer screen.

No details about the case were opened.

Police were called to a property in Layer Close in Bowthorpe by paramedics at 4.45am on Monday.
