They also made no plea to another charge of robbing a man of a mobile phone in Strother's Lane by repeatedly striking him on the head on December 30.
Sipica was represented by Kevin Hughes and Cocilnau by David Patterson.
Sipica was remanded in custody by Sheriff Gary Aitken who released Cocilnau on bail.
