A Holyhead man accused of murdering his father is set to go on trial in the Spring.

Martin Ward was charged with Michael Ward (53), whose body was found in a flat at Llys Watling on London Road early last Saturday.

The 33 year-old appeared before Caernarfon Crown Court via videolink on Wednesday morning.

A provisional trial date was fixed for Monday 5th April 2027, with proceedings expected to last for around two weeks.

Martin Ward remanded in custody until a plea hearing which is due to be held on Monday 25th January.

Paying tribute on Tuesday, Michael Ward was described by his family as "a loving family man with a big heart" who "will be greatly missed".

Detectives are still appealing for anyone with information that could help with their enquiries to come forward.
