Martin Chadburn, 53, who was an army veteran and employee of the Hull 4 Heroes charity, was taken to hospital with head injuries following the incident in the early hours of Sunday morning in Queen Victoria Square. He died two days later.

Three women and two men appeared before Hull Crown Court on Friday.

No pleas were entered during the hearing and the defendants were remanded in custody ahead of another court appearance on 7 August. A trial is expected to take place later this year.
