Holly Lodge murder ­ trial date set

GRIEVING relatives of four murder victims – including a highly respected Highgate couple – will have the opportunity to follow the trial of the accused man at the end of the month.
A team of psychiatrists at Broadmoor maximum security hospital, Berks, have declared Daniel Gonzales mentally fit to go before a jury at the Old Bailey.
The Common Serjeant of London, Judge Brian Barker, ordered the case to start on February 27 when the bloody events of 17-months ago will be investigated.
Gonzales, unemployed, of Southwood Avenue, Woking, Surrey, was transferred to Broadmoor from Belmarsh prison where he was held on remand.
He faces four counts of murder, two attempted murders, and burglary arising out of an alleged stabbing spree in the Autumn of 2004.
Pensioners Derek and Jean Robinson were found knifed to death at their £800,000 home in Makepeace Avenue, Holly Lodge Estate, on September 17, 2004.
Dr Robinson, 76, was a retired paediatrician and his devoted former music teacher wife, 68, did voluntary work for Christian Aid. They had two daughters.
Earlier that day Gonzales fatally stabbed publican Kevin Molloy, 46, a father of two, in a random attack as he walked along Tottenham High Road near his home, it is claimed.
The prosecution further alleged that 25-year-old Gonzales was responsible for the horrific onslaught on a 73-year-old granny two days earlier, on September 15. Marie Harding was on a footpath in Oakedown Crescent, Highton, West Sussex, when her throat was slit
Later that day 61-year-old Peter King was the victim of an attempted murder in Portscreek, Portsmouth.
On September 17 Koumis Constantino, 40, suffered severe knife wounds when he disturbed an intruder at his home in Frobisher Road, Hornsey.
In April last year senior Old Bailey judge Jeremy Roberts called for the case to come on without delay. “These matters have to be resolved as soon as possible for the families of the victims,” he said.
