Ahmed Alid, 44, is charged with the attempted murder of his housemate Javed Nouri and the murder of Terence Carney.

It follows an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing North East and Cleveland Police.

Police were called to reports of a fight at a house in Wharton Terrace at 5.17am on Sunday, where Mr Nouri was found with stab wounds to his chest, legs and mouth.

Mr Carney was allegedly stabbed in the chest and neck in Tees Street, around half a mile away, shortly after he used a cash machine.

Police officers arrested Alid on the corner of Victoria Road and York Road.

He appeared in court on Tuesday by video-link from custody in a police station in Middlesbrough.

Alid spoke to confirm his name and date of birth, and followed proceedings with the help of an interpreter.

He was not asked to indicate pleas to the charges and Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring remanded him in custody ahead of a hearing at the Old Bailey on Thursday.

The case is being dealt with under the Crown Prosecution Service's counter-terrorism protocol.
