A man has appeared at Crown Court accused of murdering a plumber with a crossbow bolt at a remote farm in West Cornwall.
Daniel Schofield, aged 28, of St Keverne, Cornwall, was not required to enter a plea and spoke only to confirm his name at the preliminary hearing at Exeter Crown Court.
He is charged with the murder of 50-year-old grandfather Roy Hanson who died after allegedly being shot with a crossbow at a farm near St Keverne on the Lizard Peninsula in October.
Judge Francis Gilbert, QC, adjourned the case for a hearing at Truro Crown Court some time next year. He extended Schofield's bail on conditions which include living away from Cornwall.
Mr Hanson was a father and grandfather who lived in a motor home at Gweek and ran his TAZ plumbing business from an address at nearby St Martin.
