Two men appear in court charged with the murder of Hull father Steven Cawthorn nearly four years ago

Two men have today appeared in court charged with the murder of a Hull father who was killed nearly four years ago.

Steven Cawthorn, 35, was killed in Leonard Street, off Beverley Road in Hull, on July 26, 2007.

Humberside Police revealed in June the following year that a suspect in the case had fled the country just hours after Mr Cawthorn was killed.

At the time police said they were "actively following up enquiries" to locate the suspect, who was not named. The force also said it was working with the Crown Prosecution Service to explore "extradition" opportunities.
