Two teenage boys have appeared in court, denying the murder of a "loving father" who was stabbed to death in South Wales.
The boys, aged 16 and 17, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Friday.
Appearing separately, one in court and the other via video link, they denied killing married father-of-one Kamran Aman, who died in Barry Road, Barry, last month.
Family and friends of the defendants and Mr Aman were in court for the hearing.
Mr Aman's family released a tribute following the incident, saying they mourned his loss with "profound sorrow".
They said he was: "A devoted husband, a loving father, a cherished son, brother, uncle and loyal friend, Kamran was the heart of his family and loved within his community.
"Known for his generous spirit and kind heart, Kamran brought warmth and strength to everyone he met. His absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew him.
