A provisional trial date has been set for two men accused of murdering two teenagers in Newport. Ta-Shay Canoville, 16, and Jaydon Bowyer, 19, died following a crash on Aberthaw Road in Alway in the early hours of Thursday morning, May 7.
Jaydon and Ta-Shay are believed to have been riding a motorbike in the Alway area of the city when they were allegedly struck by a car. Joshua Williams, 34, of no fixed abode, and Terell Case, 18, of Sandpiper Way in Duffryn, appeared at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday where they spoke only to confirm their names, ages and addresses.
The Recorder of Cardiff, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, set a provisional trial date for January 11, 2027, but there is a possibility the trial could be brought forward to November 2 if a judge is available.
Both defendants were remanded in custody to appear in court on June 22 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

Senior investigating officer of Gwent Police, Detective Superintendent Steven Maloney, said on Monday morning: “Both Jaydon and Ta-Shay’s families are being supported by specialist officers and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time.
“We would like to thank the community for their support while we continue to investigate fully the circumstances of these tragic deaths. We understand that reports of this nature can be concerning to our communities.
“We have been working around the clock to gather and assess evidence and we have liaised closely with our colleagues in the CPS to reach these two charging decisions.
“While our enquiries continue over the coming days, you are likely to see an increased number of officers in the area.”
