A 28-year-old man has denied murdering gunshot victim Tyron Charles whose body was found on remote moorland last month.

The body of the 29-year-old Bingley man was found by police about five weeks after he was reported missing by his family.

An inquest last month was told that Mr Charles had died from a single gunshot to the head and his body was found on land at Hillhouse Edge Lane, Oxenhope near Keighley, on October 11.
