Man denies Traveller site double murder - Basildon

A MAN has denied blasting two Southend men to death on a Traveller site.

Christopher Line, 28, who grew up in Basildon, appeared at Southwark Crown Court.

He denied one count each of murdering Shane Hill, 21, from Stromness Road, Southend, and David Castell, 29, of no fixed abode, who was living in Southend at the time of his death.

The two men were found dead just after 10pm on March 15 last year at Willow Park traveller site in Beck Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk.

Mr Castell was found dead in a burnt out vehicle, while Mr Castell was on the floor nearby.

A post mortem found the pair died from gun shot wounds.

Line, of Willow Park, Beck Row, Mildenhall, was remanded in custody and faces trial in June.

The case was transferred from Ipswich Crown Court ahead of yesterday’s hearing to Southwark so it can be heard by Mr Justice Saunders, a High Court judge, due to the severity of the allegations.

Sam Vinden, 38, formely of Oak Lane, Crays Hill, who also lives at Willow Park, Mildenahall, was arrested on suspicion of the murders last year.

He remains on police bail until next month.
