A youth has appeared at the Old Bailey accused of stabbing a young man to death on a Twickenham playing field.
Hazrat Wali, 18, of Notting Hill, died in hospital after being fatally attacked in Craneford Way on the afternoon of October 12.
A 16-year-old boy, from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, was charged with the young Afghan refugee’s murder on Friday.
On Tuesday, he appeared at the Old Bailey by video-link from Feltham Young Offenders Institution.
He spoke to confirm his identity before Judge Rebecca Trowler set a timetable for the case, with a plea hearing on January 11.
Mr Wali’s brother and foster mother attended court for the brief hearing.
The youth was remanded into custody until his next court appearance.
