Teen accused of taking knife into Old Bailey trial
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-46658836 Version 0 of 1. A teenager who allegedly tried to take a knife into the public gallery of the Old Bailey has been charged with possession of a bladed article. The 17-year-old, from Plaistow in east London, was arrested trying to gain access to a murder trial on Tuesday. He has since been bailed to appear at a youth court in January. The arrest was revealed by an Old Bailey judge after another 17-year-old was convicted of the murder of 15-year-old drill rapper Jordan Douherty. Jordan performed under the name Young Valenti and was stabbed to death after leaving a 16th birthday party in Romford in June. For legal reasons the 17-year-olds cannot be named. |
