A 28-YEAR-OLD man has appeared in court charged with the murder of 20-year-old Kewen Khorsheed in Moordown.

Mahmud Ibrahim Bakir appeared before magistrates on Monday but a court order banned the Daily Echo from identifying the victim, charges or defendants in the case, initially for 48 hours.

The order was lifted at 2pm on Tuesday following objections made by the Daily Echo to the legality of the order.

Bakir, unemployed, of Wimborne Road, Bournemouth is alleged to have committed the offence on Thursday January 27.

A post-mortem concluded Mr Khorsheed died from a single stab wound.

Bakir is also charged with violent disorder, together with Nihad Assad, Zeravan Mohammed Natheef and Ali Mohammed Sagivan, also on January 27.

Factory worker Ali Mohammed Sagivan, 24, of Norwich Road, Bournemouth is accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Mahmud Bakir and is also accused of the joint violent disorder charge.

Zeravan Mohammed Natheef, a 20-year-old car wash worker of Portchester Place, Bournemouth, faces the same two charges as Sagivan and Nihad Assad, 23 and unemployed of Shelbourne Road, Bournemouth, faces one charge of violent disorder.

Magistrates had imposed a gagging order on Monday under Section 4(2) of the Contempt of Court Act 1981 "due to the substantial risk of prejudice to the administration of justice."

The four men were arrested following an incident in Wimborne Road, near its junction with Hillcrest Road, at about 2.30am last Thursday.

An area of the road was cordoned off, as was an alleyway between Bar Zuka and the Havana Wine Bar.

The four men were all remanded in custody on Monday and are due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on Monday February 7.
