Bakri Siraj-Eldin (79) appeared at Cambridge Crown Court yesterday (Thursday, June 6).

In 2004, Siraj-Eldin was convicted of wounding 23-year-old Alexander Lloyd with intent in an attack in Hills Road, Cambridge, the previous year and served a prison sentence.

However, in 2017, Mr Lloyd, who had suffered irreversible brain damage and paralysis as a result of the assault, died.

Siraj-Eldin was released on bail to attend the same court on July 11.
