A man will stand trial today accused of murdering a retired solicitor.

Matthew Daley, 35, is accused of knifing 79-year-old Donald Lock as he drove back from a cycling meeting on the A24 at Findon, near Worthing, West Sussex, on July 16 last year.

Daley is charged with two offences in connection with the incident - murder and possession of a Magnum knife in a public place.

The defendant, of St Elmo Road, Worthing, appeared before Mr Justice Singh at the Old Bailey last month and entered not guilty pleas.

He was remanded in custody ahead of the start of his trial at Lewes Crown Court from 10.30am today.
