A driver has appeared in court charged with the murder of a motorcyclist outside a village pub in Wiltshire three days before Christmas.
Ryan Brindley, 43, was killed in a crash with a Volkswagen Touran on the B3089, close to the Wyndham Arms pub in Dinton, near Salisbury, at around 7pm on Wednesday (December 22).
Paul Barrett, 42, appeared at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on Monday charged with his murder.
The defendant, of Mere, Wiltshire, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address before being remanded in custody to appear at Salisbury Crown Court on December 29.
Family members of Mr Brindley, from Amesbury, were in attendance at the short hearing.
Presiding justice Christine Smith told Barrett: ‘You have heard we cannot deal with this case here and we are officially sending this to the crown court and there will be hearing on Wednesday, December 29, at Salisbury Crown Court to deal with your bail status.’
