Rico Burton: Man denies murdering Tyson Fury's cousin

Rico Burton was fatally stabbed near a bar in August

A man has denied murdering the cousin of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury.

Liam O'Pray, 21, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Rico Burton, 31, who was stabbed near a bar in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, on 21 August.

He also denied the wounding with intent of a 17-year-old boy, who was critically injured during the incident.

But the 21-year-old admitted possession of a knife and possession of cocaine at a hearing at Manchester Crown Court.

He was remanded in custody and is due to go on trial on 6 February.

Following Mr Burton's death, Fury paid tribute to him on social media, adding: "Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick."
