He is accused of murder and attempted murder over the incident in north London in the early hours of last Monday.

One man died and nine people were taken to hospital after a van crashed into a group near the Finsbury Park mosque.

The area was busy with worshippers attending Ramadan night prayers at the time.

Osborne, from Cardiff, is charged with killing Makram Ali, 51, from Haringey, and the attempted murder of others at the scene.

Wearing a maroon t-shirt and grey tracksuit trousers, the defendant spoke only to confirm his identity at Tuesday's short hearing.
