Judge Jeremy Richardson KC remanded the defendant, who stood in the dock with an intermediary and three members of security staff, into secure local authority care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judge Richardson said: \u201cYou have pleaded guilty to manslaughter and the other offence relating to a knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA jury will decide whether you are guilty or not guilty of the more serious allegation of murder. That trial will start on June 30 at this court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Richardson added a warning to those watching that the defendant is entitled to a fair trial and said: “I don’t want him in a state because of what happened outside or in a state where he can’t be trialled.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
