A murder suspect has been remanded in custody after the fatal stabbing of a man in Northampton.

Clinton Obeng Oppong Antwi, 23, died in hospital on Wednesday, soon after emergency services were called to reports of a serious assault in Flaxwell Court, Standens Barn at 17:40 GMT on Wednesday.

Junior Emmanuel Uwadia, 25, of Northfield Way, Northampton, appeared at Northampton Crown Court and was told he would remain in custody until until a trial on 27 May next year.

Two other men arrested in connection with the case, aged 22 and 23, have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
