A man was accused in court of the murder of a 87-year-old pensioner and seven other charges.
Gavin Collins, 38, was brought to a Bank Holiday sitting of Nottingham magistrates and was remanded in custody.
He is due to be brought to Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday.
No details were given during the seven-minute appearance where he was represented by Chris Lacey.
The dead man was named in the charge as 'He was the hub of our family' - tributes to granddad killed in Mansfield Woodhouse and the murder was dated as April 19 at Worcester Avenue, Tibshelf.

Sarah Sanderson, prosecuting, told the court that the offences were linked and suggested they should all be handled by a crown court judge.
This was accepted by Mr Lacey. Currently, the law bans bail applications when people appear on murder charges for the first time.
Collins gave his address to the JPs as Addison Street, Tibshelf.
