A SON appeared in court this week charged with murdering his mother and stepfather at the couple's home in Oldbury.

Anmol Chana, 25, appeared at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday (March 2) for a preliminary hearing.

The case was put off to Friday May 15 when Chana will enter a plea to the double murder charges.
