Two teenagers appeared at the Old Bailey today accused of murdering a man who had been suspected of sexual offences.

A 14-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were told they will face trial at the end of September.

They were remanded in custody to a plea and case management hearing on August 12, when the charge will be put to them.

They are accused of murdering Robert Daley, 45, who was found stabbed to death at a property in Ferndale Road, Stockwell, south London, on April 23.
