From Berkshire Live

A man who is accused of carrying out a suspected terror attack in Reading last month in which three men were killed is set to face a trial in November.

Khairi Saadallah, 25, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday via video-link from Belmarsh prison in south-east London.

He wore a maroon sweatshirt and grey trousers for his court appearance, speaking only to confirm his name. Saadallah is accused of launching the two-minute stabbing spree in Forbury Gardens, Reading, shortly before 7pm on Saturday June 20.

Mr Justice Sweeney said he was prepared to set a provisional date of November 30 for a trial, which may last between two to three weeks.

Saadallah, of Basingstoke Road, Reading, will appear again at the Old Bailey for a preparatory hearing on November 6.
