Five men and a boy have denied the murder and manslaughter of a 24-year-old who was fatally stabbed.
The body of Jaskaran Kang, from Handsworth, Birmingham, was discovered at a property in Stourbridge Road, Dudley, on 6 January.
The accused appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Monday and are set to face trial on 14 January.
All six faced an additional charge of conspiracy to commit robbery - four men denied it.
Two others who cannot be named - an 18-year-old who was 17 when arrested, and a 17 year old boy - admitted the charge.
