Mr Szubert, 38, died of head injuries in June after he was found slumped just outside the Civic Gardens, also known as Mandela Gardens.

He was pronounced deceased at the scene and a post mortem examination later revealed he died of a head injury.

Ramsden has been remanded in custody ahead of a trial which is due to start on December 3.
