A 34-year-old man has appeared before Oxford Crown Court accused of the murder of a man found stabbed in Barton.

Rafal Stawski, of Mayfair Road, Oxford, spoke only to confirm his name when he appeared in court via video link yesterday morning.

He is charged with the murder of Wojciech Ryniak, who was found with a stab wound in a car in North Way last Tuesday.

He died of his injuries in hospital the following day.

Stawski was remanded in custody to appear before the same court for a plea and case management hearing on July 17.
