TWO men accused of murdering Bury taxi driver Tariq Javed have again appeared before magistrates in the town.
Mark Baker, aged 21, from Hazel Avenue, Bury, and Jason Power, aged 29, of no fixed address, are said to have committed murder in November of last year.
The pair, together with a 17-year-old youth who cannot be named for legal reasons, are also charged with robbing Mr Javed of his £2,150 Toyota Carina taxi on the same night.
All three had their cases adjourned until February 15 when committal proceedings are expected to take place. Baker and Power were remanded in custody while the teenager was given conditional bail.
