Four men appear in court accused of Moss Side murder of Javell Morgan

Four men from Huddersfield have appeared in court accused of the murder of Javell Morgan (20) in Moss Side, after two more charges were authorized this morning (22 August).

Darius Blackburn (20) and Deontay Crosfield (22) were arrested in West Yorkshire over the weekend and are the latest to be charged by our Major Incident Team with Javell’s murder.

They appeared alongside co-accused Jacob Doughty (21) and Simeon Baptiste (24) at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court, before being remanded into custody to next appear at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday (24 August).

Shortly after midnight on Monday 15 August, officers found Javell with critical injuries on Claremont Road before he sadly died in hospital a short time later.
