A MAN appeared before magistrates yesterday charged with murder after the death of a man on a North-East housing estate.
Sean Crone, 25, of Rhodesia Road, Red House, Sunderland, was remanded by Sunderland magistrates to appear at Newcastle Crown Court next Monday.
His appearance follows the killing of Ian Lawson, 25, who lived on the city's Red House estate.
Mr Lawson died of multiple stab wounds in Retford Road, at about 10.15pm on Thursday.
Meanwhile, police are still investigating the unconnected death of 27-year-old Simon Richardson, of Rutherglen Road, on the same estate, who died from massive blood loss from an injury to his neck.
Mr Richardson, whose body was found at 6am last Friday in Roedean Road, also Red House.
Anyone with information about Mr Richardon's death has been asked to call 0191- 454 7555 ext 66334.
