TWO men have appeared in court charged with the murder of Genson Courtney in Greenwich.

The 23-year-old, a stepson of Plumstead ex-gangster Dave Courtney, was found by police in Banning Street on July 3 last year in a black Volkswagen Golf and suffering from gunshot wounds.

Mr Courtney, also known as Genson Pinto, was taken by ambulance to hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3.43am.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head.

Both men were remanded in custody and are due to appear at the Old Bailey tomorrow (Sept 25).
