TWO men have appeared before Hereford Magistrates Court charged with the murder of 17-year-old Daren Loader.
Andrej Mackevic, 27, and Virunas Kalasnikovas, 23, both Lithuanian and of no fixed address, were each charged with murdering the teenager.
They also face one count of unlawfully and maliciously causing grievous bodily harm to a 17-year-old girl.
The two men did not enter pleas at this afternoon’s short hearing.
Both were told via a Russian interpreter their case would be sent to Worcester Crown Court and were remanded in custody at the request of prosecutor Stephen Davies.
They are now due to appear in Worcester next Tuesday.
Mr Loader, of Whitecross Road, died on Friday morning following an attack on the Great Western Way the night before.
