Halloween murder accused Andrew Whitefield in custody

Published: 11th November, 2010

A CONSTRUCTION worker facing a murder charge following a Halloween night stabbing in Chalk Farm has been remanded in custody after a brief Old Bailey appearance.

Andrew Whitefield, 52, from Highbury, was arrested after 27 year-old Maciej Novak suffered fatal knife injuries at a flat in Forge Place.

Whitefield was not called on to enter any plea when his case came before Recorder of London, Peter Beaumont.

The judge fixed a further hearing for January 10 for a plea to be entered and a case management programme will be ironed out with a date for trial fixed later in the year.
