But David Gittins, for the Crown Prosecution Service, put a new indictment before the court.

McEvoy spoke only to confirm his identity and did not enter any pleas.

Judge Paul Darlow set down a trial lasting three or four days to begin on July 9.

McEvoy will return to court on May 13 for an interim hearing, when he will be expected to enter a plea. He was remanded in custody.
