Daniel Pitham death: Men deny Bedworth stab murder
Two men have denied murdering a man who was found stabbed to death at a house during a police welfare check.
Daniel Pitham, 33, from Bedworth, was found at an address in Bulkington Road in the town on 6 May. Scott Warner, 35, of Missing Oak Close, and John Robert Allison, 33, of Bulkington Road, both in Bedworth, denied his murder at Warwick Crown Court on Monday. They were remanded in custody and a trial date was set for 6 January 2020. At the time of his death, Mr Pitham was remembered by his family as an "outgoing young man who loved to party with his friends, travel and keep fit". Their statement said he suffered life-changing injuries in February last year which left him "depressed and vulnerable". A post-mortem examination found Mr Pitham was killed by a stab wound to the heart. Follow BBC West Midlands on Facebook, on Twitter, and sign up for local news updates direct to your phone.
