Angela Wrightson murder: Girls aged 13 and 14 in court | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
Two teenage girls accused of murdering a woman in Hartlepool have appeared in court. | |
The girls, aged 13 and 14, were charged with the murder of Angela Wrightson, 39, whose body was discovered at her home in Stephen Street on Tuesday morning. | |
One of the girls' mothers wept as they appeared at Teesside Youth Court. | |
A post-mortem examination found Ms Wrightson died as a result of blood loss and substantial injuries. | |
The younger girl appeared in handcuffs, watched by her parents at the back of the courtroom. Her mother cried as she entered the room. | |
The 14-year-old came in separately in tears and also handcuffed. Her father was in court for the hearing. | |
No pleas were entered. The judge told both girls they would be held in secure accommodation. | |
They will appear at Teesside Crown Court later. |
