Rapper Bandokay and his uncle, the brother of the late Mark Duggan whose death sparked riots in London back in 2011 have appeared in court to deny being part of a Selfridges knife brawl in which two people were stabbed.

Marlon Duggan, 37, and Kemani Duggan, 19, were allegedly part of a group knife fight inside the famous department store's Oxford Street site on May 8 last year.

Police were called to the scene following reports of a man having suffered a stab wound to the leg during the incident at around 7.35 pm, last summer. A hearing at Southwark Crown Court was told today.

Marlon and his nephew who goes by his drill name Bandokay, have both denied the charge of violent disorder.

According to the charges, the two are accused of using or threatening unlawful violence.

Malik Knox-Hooke, 21, Javani Best, 22, Rhyheem Lindsey, 19, Bryan Carvahlo, 21, and Andre Deer, 19, denied the same charge relating to the incident in the luxury store.

Lindsey and Carvahlo also deny a single count of having a knife in a public place, namely Selfridges.

Judge Tomlinson remanded Lindsey in custody and bailed the others ahead of a trial listed for May 16 at Southwark Crown Court.

Bandokay's father, Mark Duggan was shot dead by police officers on August 4, 2011, sparking mass riots in London that spread to other parts of the country.

This happened after armed officers intercepted a minicab he was traveling in on the basis of intelligence that he was carrying a gun.

He was shot twice by an unidentified officer with one fatal shot hitting his chest. A pistol was later found around seven meters away from the minicab.
