Stephen Grimwood, of Shipfield, Norwich, was due to appear at Norwich Magistrates Court today (16 May 2022) after being charged with the murder of 58-year-old Mark Franklin. It follows an incident in Appleyard Crescent on Friday 29 April 2022, when officers were called to reports of a sudden death. A Home Office post-mortem examination later established that the victim died as a result of serious head wounds. Grimwood refused to appear in court and in his absence, was further remanded in custody with a provisional trial date set for 7 September 2022.
