Men deny murdering mother and children

Two men have pleaded not guilty to murdering a mother and her three children in a house ***** in West Yorkshire.

Bryonie Gawith, 29, and her children Denisty Birtle, nine, Oscar Birtle, five, and 22-month-old Aubree Birtle all ***** following the ***** in Westbury Road, Bradford, on 21 August.

Mohammed Shabir, 44, and Calum Sunderland, 25, appeared at Bradford Crown Court via a video link on Wednesday, and denied four counts of ******* and the attempted ******* of Ms Gawith’s sister, Antonia Gawith.

Judge Jonathan Rose told Mr Shabir and Mr Sunderland, both of Keighley, they would remain in custody until the trial on 4 March.

The court heard a man arrested at the scene of the *****, who was described as the “main suspect”, was “still unconscious” in hospital and would not be ready for trial “even if he does wake up”.

West Yorkshire Police previously confirmed the man in hospital was the ex-partner of a woman who was visiting the family.

Ms Gawith ***** at the scene and the three children ***** from their injuries in hospital.
