They are jointly charged with six others.

In March, 21-year-old Natasha Akhtar, of Birmingham, denied both murder charges, along with Raees Jamal, aged 21, of Loughborough, 28-year-old Rekan Karwan, of Leicester and 20-year-old Mohammed Patel, of Leicester.

Two other Leicester men, 22-year-old Sanaf Gulammustafa and 27-year-old Ameer Jamal, have been charged with the two murders. They both appeared in court yesterday (May 12), alongside their co-accused, but did not enter pleas.

The two are next due to appear in court on Wednesday June 1. A pre-trial review hearing was set down for a date in August, with a 10 week trial due to start in October.

The defendants have been remanded in custody.
