An alleged terrorist has denied murdering MP Sir David Amess.
Ali Harbi Ali, 25, has also pleaded not guilty to preparing acts of terrorism.
He appeared at the Old Bailey this lunchtime where he entered his pleas.
Sir David died from stab wounds following an alleged incident during a constituency surgery held at the Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex back on October 15, 2021.
Ali is alleged to have stabbed the MP multiple times after traveling to the church from his home in Kentish Town, north London.
Before the killing, Ali allegedly engaged in reconnaissance of locations of targets to attack, including addresses associated with MPs and the Houses of Parliament.
He also made an internet search relating to targets, it is claimed.
Previously, a provisional trial date had been set at the Old Bailey for March 7, 2022.
Following discussions with prosecutor Tom Little QC and defence barrister Tracy Ayling QC, Mr Justice Sweeney agreed to put the trial back to March 21.
Following the half-hour hearing, the defendant was remanded into custody.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
