28-year old O'Neal Joseph of Amersham Road in Caversham is charged with murder, and 22-year-old Reece Weatherburn of Nire Road in Caversham is charged with two counts of assisting an offender, namely allowing O'Neal Joseph to use his house as an abode and providing false information to authorities.Â
Both men deny the charges.
Yannick was attacked outside a shop in Nire Road in Caversham as he made his way to his mother's house he staggered to nearby Managua Close and died in the early hours of 14 February this year.
