The trial of four people, accused of the murder of father-of-two Andrew Ayres, is due to begin tomorrow.
A jury of seven women and five men has been sworn in at Bradford Crown Court and is expected to hear prosecutor Adrian Waterman, QC, outline the case tomorrow.
Michael Hall, 24, Laura Mitchell, 19, Henry Ballantyne, 20, and 25-year-old Jason Fawthrop, all plead not guilty to the murder of Mr Ayres, 50, of Queensbury, who was married with two daughters aged 21 and 14. They also deny a charge of violent disorder.
Mr Ayres died in late January after an incident in the car park of the King's Head pub in Halifax Road, Buttershaw, Bradford.
Carl Holmes, 21, of Bonwick Mall, Buttershaw, has pleaded guilty to murder and will be sentenced at the end of the trial, which is expected to last more than four weeks.
