A man charged with murder after another man was found dead on a Spalding street has today (Friday) appeared in court.
Vadims Zmicerevskis (45) died after an incident at the junction of Green Lane and St Thomas’ Road in Spalding on Monday, November 11.
Viktors Zeglovs (33), of no fixed abode, is charged with the murder of Mr Zmicerevskis and this morning appeared at Lincoln Crown Court.
Dressed in a grey sweat shirt and grey jogging bottoms, Zeglovs spoke only to confirm his name and listened to the hearing via a Russian interpreter.
No pleas were entered and no bail application was made.
Tara McCarthy, defending Zeglovs, asked for the case to be adjourned for a plea and trial preparation hearing at Lincoln Crown Court on January 16.
Judge James House KC agreed to the adjournment and remanded Zeglovs back into custody.
The case was listed for a provisional trial date at Lincoln Crown Court on April 28, 2025.
The trial is expected to last seven days.
Judge House told Zeglovs: “I am adjourning your case in the first instance until January 16.
“Your case remains listed for trial on April 28.”
The Crown Prosecution Service was represented by Jonathan Cox.
