A 17-YEAR-OLD boy has appeared in court charged with the murder of a Merseyside teenager.
John Marsh, 15, died in hospital on Saturday night, after being attacked outside a house in Hempstead Close, Thatto Heath, St Helens, at 11.40pm.
Friends described the youngster as a “legend” and set up a website in his memory.
The 17-year-old, from the Thatto Heath area, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was remanded in custody until December 1.
He will appear before St Helens Youth Court on that date.
A committal date was also fixed for Liverpool Crown Court on January 4, 2010.
A 44-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of murder and perverting the course of justice was released on police bail yesterday, pending further inquiries.
