Three people charged in connection with an alleged murder in Wiltshire earlier this year have appeared in court.

Raymond Groves, from Hartcliffe in Bristol, died at Strawberry Fields, Easterton, near Devizes, on July 2 after police responded to reports of a man being stabbed.

Anthony Hodges-Hillier, 33, of Brooklands in Royal Wootton Bassett, Letishia Goodwin, 29, and 53-year-old Helen Shakespeare, both of Strawberry Fields in Easterton, were subsequently arrested and charged in connection with the incident.

In July, Shakespeare and Hodges-Hillier both appeared at Swindon Magistrates' Court charged with both murder and conspiracy to commit the murder.
