A homeless man has appeared in court in connection with the death of charity volunteer Colin Evans in Chelmsford.
Jose Correia Agrela, 29, was charged at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court this morning (October 3) with murder.
Mr Evans, 39, was found dead in a flat in Broomfield Road on Tuesday (September 29).
Wearing a red jumper Mr Correia Agrela, who is believed to have previously lived in Portugal, spoke only to confirm his name, and that he currently has no fixed address.
Magistrate Rosemary Padfield then confirmed the case was too serious to be dealt with by the court, and should be sent to Chelmsford Crown Court, to be heard on October 9.
