A man extradited in Romania over a fatal stabbing in London more than three years ago has appeared in court after being charged with murder.
Shane O'Brien is accused of killing Josh Hanson, 21, in a knife attack at the RE bar in Hillingdon, west London in October 2015.
O'Brien was subject to a European Arrest Warrant and was arrested in Romania last month.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday dressed in a black jumper, a dark fleece and jeans, speaking only to confirm his personal details.
Deputy chief district judge Tan Ikram ordered O'Brien next appear in custody at Old Bailey on April 9.
A case management hearing was also scheduled for May 3.
Mr Hanson, from Kingsbury in north-west London, was found with a serious wound to the neck and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as haemorrhage, inhalation of blood and an incised wound to the neck.
O'Brien was detained in Cluj-Napoca last month and arrived at Heathrow Airport at 7.30pm on Friday.
He is thought to have left the UK shortly after Mr Hanson's death, flying on a private jet from Biggin Hill Airport in south-east London and landing in Germany.
It is believed he spent time in the Netherlands, Dubai and at least seven months in Prague.
Police photos showed how he had changed his appearance, having longer hair and a beard, with a new large tattoo of an owl holding a skull that covers a large portion of his back.
It covered a distinctive tattoo he had previously, which read "Shannon 15-04-06".
