Arrest in 1984 civil servant murder
The cold case was reopened following a review of forensic evidence and witness statements that had gone unaddressed for four decades.
Prosecutors allege the brothers made a 'hobby' of attacking men they perceived to be gay, resulting in Littler suffering catastrophic head injuries.
The defense has denied the charges, questioning the reliability of decades-old memories and the lack of direct physical evidence.
The trial at the Old Bailey is expected to shed light on a series of unsolved hate crimes from the 1980s.
