Teenage boy denies party stabbing | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
A 16-year-old boy has denied murdering a teenager who was stabbed after attending a party in Manchester. | |
Conor Black, 16, was stabbed in the shoulder in Moston Lane, Harpurhey, in the early hours of Saturday morning. He died on the way to hospital. | |
A youth, who cannot be named, appeared before Manchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with killing Conor, who lived on the Lightbowne estate. | |
He was remanded in custody and is due to re-appear on 16 September. | |
He will appear via videolink and a formal plea will be entered before he will be committed to Manchester Crown Court. | |
The magistrates were told that Conor, a joinery student, was allegedly struck on the head with a can before the stabbing. | |
The youth's solicitor, Mr Simon Harrison, said his client "denies the extremely grave crime". |
