A 32-year-old man was remanded in custody yesterday charged with the murder of Russell Christie, the younger brother of the former Olympic 100m sprint champion Linford Christie.

Simon Williams, unemployed, of no fixed abode, was ordered to reappear before Marylebone magistrates on 30 December 1996. No application for bail was made.

Russell Christie, 34, died in hospital on Friday from stab wounds to his neck after police had found him in Notting Hill, west London.
