Four men from England who deny carrying out a kidnapping on the Island will stand trial after pleading not guilty to the offence.

Muhammad Khan, Amman Sohail, Zishaan Sharif and Abdul Ahad appeared in person to enter their pleas at Douglas Courthouse yesterday.

The men, aged between 19 and 25, are from Bradford and Burnley.

It's alleged they travelled to the Island on October 31st last year to try and force another man to travel to Heysham against his will.

A pre-trial review will take place on June 25th where trial dates will be set - all four men have been bailed in the meantime.
