Ryan Burton passed away following an assault
Two men charged with the murder of 34-year-old Ryan Burton in Kettering have been further remanded into custody, following an appearance at Northampton Crown Court.
Connor White, aged 25, of Spencer Street, Rothwell, and 23-year-old Kyle Derek McSkimming, of Pen Green Lane, Corby, appeared for the first time at the court after both were charged with one count of murder and one count of robbery.
White and McSkimming were remanded in custody until March 21st, when they will appear for a pre-trial plea hearing alongside three other men charged with Ryan’s murder and a robbery in Wallis Road, Kettering, on the same day.
Their co-defendants are 25-year-old Cameron Williams-Ferguson from Kettering, 20-year-old Keiton Underwood from Desborough, and 18-year-old Ace Hill from Corby. All three are also on remand following their appearance at Northampton Crown Court.
Ryan, who was originally from Corby, was seriously assaulted in the town’s Spring Rise park, near Highfield Road, shortly before 7pm on Friday, January 10th. He sadly died at University Hospital Coventry six days later.
Ten others arrested as part of the investigation have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
