Sporting long, wavy brown hair and wearing a grey, prison issue tracksuit while flanked by two security officers in the dock, he spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and said he was of no fixed address during a brief, three-minute hearing. Magistrates remanded him into custody ahead of a further appearance before Liverpool Crown Court on Monday.
Chapman was not asked to enter a plea to the murder charge or counts of attempted murder against Kieran Salkeld and Jake Duffy. Similarly, he was not asked to enter pleas to charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent in which the alleged victims were named as Harry Loughran, Nicholas Speed and Liam Carr.
The defendant also faces counts of possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life, namely a Skorpion submachine gun and 9mm short 0.380 auto/acp calibre ammo. A further charge of handling stolen goods states he was in possession of a stolen 19-plate Mercedes A-Class between December 22 and Boxing Day last year.
