A BASINGSTOKE man has denied murdering grandfather Stephan Hollow, who was found with stab wounds outside the door of his home in Buckskin.

William Smith, of Pershore Road, Popley, appeared at Winchester Crown Court last Friday for a plea and case management hearing.

The 27-year-old denied murder and also pleaded not guilty to committing grievous bodily harm against Mr Hollow’s 22-year-old son Tyler.

Smith was remanded in custody ahead of his trial at Winchester on April 28.

Mr Hollow, aged 53, died at Basingstoke hospital after being found with fatal stab wounds outside his home in Blackdown Close, Buckskin, in the early hours of Monday, August 19.
