Adam Olverson, 31, appeared before Preston Crown Court on Wednesday charged with the murder of 75-year-old Thomas Olverson following an incident at a family farm in Scarisbrick on July 25 last year. Olverson, of Marsh Hey Farm, Pinfold Lane, entered not guilty pleas to charges of murder and manslaughter. The court heard Thomas Olverson was pronounced dead after emergency services were called to reports of a gunfire discharge in a field off Pinfold Lane. Recorder of Preston Judge Robert Altham granted the defendant bail ahead of a pre-trial review on February 22 next year. As part of his bail conditions, Olverson must live at his home address, comply with a night-time curfew, and surrender his passport.
