The men also face a charge of perverting the course of public justice.

They allegedly did this by cutting telephone lines, smashing a sink unit to set the water running and setting two seats on fire at the hair salon.

Police, fire and the ambulance service were called to the blaze at the Marcus Sewell shop at 9.20am on Saturday.

Mr Sewell-Fletcher had been assaulted and suffered multiple injuries including many fractured ribs and the effects of severe smoke inhalation, prosecutor Alex Bozman said.

Gibbon and Holroyd, flanked in a secure dock by three security guards, spoke only to confirm their personal details at the 10-minute hearing.

Their family and friends packed into the public gallery, some sobbing as magistrates told the men that their case was destined for Leeds Crown Court.

They will first appear there on March 22.

No applications were made for their bail and they were remanded in custody. POLICE revealed the man who died in hospital after sustaining injuries outside a Dewsbury pub died as a result of multiple injuries.

Jonathan Binns, a 32-year-old father known as ‘Jonny’, from Ings Crescent, Dewsbury, was struck by a vehicle following a fracas outside The Scarborough, Thornhill Lees, last Friday.

Nine people have been arrested, aged between 16 and 20-years-old, all from Dewsbury. All have been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Jonathan’s father, David Binns, said: “As a family we are still coming to terms with what has happened to Jonathan (left). He was a much-loved son and dedicated father to his own child. He was a devoted Leeds United fan.

“We would like to thank the local community for all their continued support.”
