TWO men are to face a jury next month over an alleged killing in Edgware eight months ago.
The trial of Jake Lee, 22, of Heathfield Road, Acton, and Louis Tate, 23, of Rosamun Street, Southall, on a charge of murdering Garry (CORR) Frater will begin on February 15 at the Old Bailey in central London. They denied the charge last September.
Mr Frater died on May 30 2009 of multiple injuries sustained in a collision with a car in De Havilland Road, Edgware.
The 32-year-old, known as 'G' or 'G-Man', lived round the corner in Cobham Close with his mother.

A NURSERY has opened in a renovated 450-year-old building in central Stanmore.
The Mayor of Harrow, Councillor Eric Silver, launched Boys and Girls Nursery in The Broadway, at an open day on January 16.
Natasha Kirby, 26, who runs the business with her husband Jon said: "We had over 150 families visit us so it was really busy, with lots of interest.
"We're about a third full and we have a capacity of 100 full time places.
"There are 45 children registered, some full-time and some part-time, and at the moment we have 15 staff but we're going to start hiring more."
The couple spent more than 18 months converting and refurbishing Cottrell Cottages - a Grade II Listed manor house built in 1565 that was subsequent divided into houses - back into a one premises.
"It's got great character with a contemporary feel," said Mrs Kirby.
"It's completely safe for a nursery now. We're got a big garden as well and, bearing in mind we're in The Broadway, many parents don't expect us to have that kind of space outside."

A STANMORE firm has been reprimanded for throwing away documents containing clients' personal details in an ordinary waste bin.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) found Bellgrange Mortgages and Insurance Services, of Canons Corner, breached the Data Protection Act by dumping confidential papers such as mortgage application forms, client bank account details and copies of documents used to verify identity.
Some of the waste even contained medical information and all had been dumped in a regular industrial waste bin before their scheduled collection by a waste disposal firm.
Sally Anne-Poole, head of enforcement and investigations at ICO, said: "This incident highlights the need for organisations to dispose of material containing personal details securely and safely.
"Organisations must employ security measures to ensure personal data is in no way compromised.
"I am pleased that Bellgrange is taking action to prevent a similar situation occurring in the future."
Bellgrange has signed an official undertaking with the ICO to improve data security and has registered their affected customers with a fraud protection service provider.
The confidential waste was either returned to the hands of the company or properly destroyed.
