Victor Hamilton was found dead in July 2022
Two men have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Victor Hamilton in Ballymena almost two years ago.
Mr Hamilton, 63, was found dead at the front of his house in Orkney Drive in Ballykeel on 26 July 2022.
Mamadu Saido Djalo, 31, from Derryveen Crescent, Dungannon, and Michael Hanrahan, 42, from Thomas Street, Craigavon deny murdering him.
Mr Djalo also denied six counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Those charges are alleged to have taken place between December 2022 and March 2023.
Appearing before Mr Justice O'Hara at Belfast Crown Court on Friday, Mr Djalo and Mr Hanrahan were told their case would be reviewed in April.
No date has been set for their trial.
A third co-accused, 33-year-old Mario Menees from Portmore Street in Portadown, County Armagh, was not arraigned due to a legal issue, the court was told.
