Mr Harwood’s body was discovered near Broadmead Fields, Broadmead Road, on May 28.

The gang are said to have attacked Mr Harwood at a bungalow four of them shared in Crow Lane, Romford.

The court was told that the teenager was driven to a patch of land in Woodford Green where the “fatal assault continued and he was left for dead”.

James Danby, 26; Khalid Hassan, 19; Tony O’Toole, 29; and Emma Hall, 20, who shared the bungalow, and Jovan Roberts, 27, of no fixed address, have been charged with the 18-year-old’s murder.

All five appeared for a brief hearing, during which they spoke only to confirm their names.

Judge John Bevan QC refused bail applications for Hassan and Hall.

Danby, Hassan, O’Toole and Hall also face charges of perverting the course of justice, along with 20-year-old Billy Duggan.

All six will return to the court on September 6 for a plea and case management hearing.
