No pleas were entered when Whiteside appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court on October 26, as both charges are to be dealt with by the Crown Court.

He was remanded in custody due to the nature and seriousness of the charges, and he is due to appear at Lincoln Crown Court on November 23 for the trial.
