A man has appeared at the Old Bailey in London charged with terrorism-related murder after the Finsbury Park van attack last week.

Darren Osborne, 47, appeared at the brief bail hearing by video-link from HMP Belmarsh, wearing jogging bottoms and a maroon T-shirt.

The unemployed father of four from Cardiff was charged on Friday with murdering Makram Ali, 51, and attempting to murder several others when he allegedly drove a rented lorry into a crowd of Muslims leaving a mosque on the night of 19 June.

Osborne spoke only to confirm his name and did not apply for bail during the hearing, which lasted less than 10 minutes. He has been remanded in custody.

He will next appear at the Old Bailey on 20 July before Mr Justice Holroyd, who runs the terrorism case management list.
