Black Country murder suspect in court over pensioner's death
A 21-year-old man charged with murdering a Staffordshire pensioner has appeared before court.
Moses Christensen, from Stourbridge, appeared at Stafford Crown Court on Friday.
He is charged with murdering Richard Hall, aged 70, and with possessing a combat-style knife in a public place.
Mr Hall, from Perton, near Wolverhampton, was found dead near the summit of Brown Clee Hill in south Shropshire on August 14.
Wearing a grey sweatshirt, Christensen, of Corser Street in Oldswinford, spoke only to confirm his name.
He was remanded into custody ahead of an appearance at the same court on November 2 when he is set to enter a plea.
Speaking in August, Mr Hall's family described his death as a "massive loss to everyone that knew him".
