Mark Lord, 63, has appeared in court charged with the murder of his 94-year-old father, Allan Lord.
He appeared before Judge Nicholas Clarke KC, the Honorary Recorder of Bolton, at Bolton Crown Court today (October 12). He has not yet been asked to enter a plea.
Police called to welfare concern
Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to reports of concerns for the welfare of a man at a property on Bryngs Drive in Harwood, Bolton. Officers were alerted at around 11.35am on Wednesday (October 7).
A man was found dead at the property and was later confirmed to be Allan Lord.
Case transferred to crown court
Mark Lord appeared before magistrates last week and his case was transferred to Bolton Crown Court. During today's hearing, the defendant was not asked to enter a plea.
He is expected to do so at a further hearing on November 16. A trial date was scheduled for March 30 next year.
