<p>Zakaria Bulhan, 19, is accused of murdering retired teacher Darlene Horton, 64, at Russell Square on Wednesday evening.</p>
<p>He is also charged with the attempted murder of Martin Hoenisch, Lillie Selletin, David Imber, Bernard Hepplewhite and Yovel Lewronski, who were all injured in the same attack.</p>
<p>Bulhan, a Norwegian national of Somali origin who moved to the UK in 2002 and lives in Tooting, south London, appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.</p>
<p>He stood in the dock wearing a light grey tracksuit and carrying a handful of paperwork.</p>
<p>The teenager mumbled his name, address and date of birth to the court with his hand over his mouth.</p>
<p>Bulhan was unrepresented in court and sat hunched throughout the short hearing with his hand over his mouth.</p>

<p>When asked if he understood the charges, he nodded and gave the judge a thumbs-up gesture.</p>
<p>Bulhan was remanded in custody and ordered to appear at the Old Bailey on August 9.</p>
