A MAN has appeared in court to deny a charge of murder following the death of a man in an East Yorkshire coastal town.

Mehmet Gundez, 24 of Bridlington, entered a plea of ‘not guilty’ during a plea and trial preparation hearing at Hull Crown Court today (August 14).

The 24-year-old was charged with murder after the death of Ibrahim Yesildeniz, 25, in Bridlington on Monday (August 10).

Humberside Police said Mr Yesildeniz was pronounced dead in hospital after reports of an incident in First Avenue at about 5.20am on Monday.

“Ibrahim's family are being supported by specially trained officers and have asked for privacy,” a police spokesperson said.

A further appearance is scheduled for September 28 and the case is set to go to trial on November 23 at Hull Crown court.
