Hastings man denies murder charge

A 27-year-old man has denied murdering a St Leonards supermarket worker at court this morning.

Christopher Hunnisett, of Chactonbury Drive, appeared at Lewes Crown Court where he pleaded not guilty to the murder of 57-year-old Peter Bick, an Asda greeter who was found dead in his Bexhill flat in January.

Hunnisett was remanded in custody and the trial has been set for October 18.
