Boy, 15, accused of head's murder
A 15-year-old boy appeared in court yesterday accused of murdering headmaster Philip Lawrence, who died last month after being stabbed as he went to the aid of a pupil being attacked outside his school in Maida Vale, north-west London.
The boy, who lives in Camden, north London, is further charged with conspiring with persons unknown to wound a schoolboy with the intention of causing grievous bodily harm. He was remanded into local authority secure accommodation and will appear again before Camden Youth Court on Tuesday.
