TWO men accused of stabbing a Basingstoke man to death have both pleaded not guilty to murder.
Liam Darvill, 20, of Beaconsfield Road, in Fairfields, Basingstoke, and Thomas David Harris, 22, of Eastrop Way, Basingstoke, appeared at Winchester Crown Court on Monday, where they denied murdering 31-year-old Dean Evans.
Mr Evans, from Kempshott, was found lying in Benham Road, Popley, at 5.30am on April 8 suffering from serious stab injuries.
He was taken to hospital by South Central Ambulance Service but died a short time later.
Mr Darvill and Mr Harris, who were charged by police with murder three days after Mr Evans' death, have been remanded in custody and will face trial on October 4.
