Mr Mohammed (30), was found fatally injured on London Road, in the early hours of Wednesday March 8. He was taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary where he was pronounced dead.

The Leicester Crown Court case was adjourned for a trial, due to commence at Nottingham Crown Court in August.

Following the alleged incident, part of London Road, in the vicinity of the railway station, remained closed for most of the day.
