|
A man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court charged with the murder of a man found collapsed on his canal boat.
Maurice Batts, 64, died 10 days after he was discovered off Southam Road in Banbury, Oxfordshire, last September.
A post-mortem examination revealed his death was caused by a "blunt trauma".
James Crane, 53, of Springfield Avenue, Banbury, appeared before Banbury magistrates, after he was charged in connection with the death on Saturday.
Two men and two women, arrested last year in connection with the death, are on police bail until April.
