TWO youths are to stand trial for the murder of a teenager found dead in a Bolton park.
Joseph Booth, aged 18, of Tildsley Street, Great Lever, and a 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are accused of killing 19-year-old Seffar Khan.
The body of Mr Khan, of Roxalina Street, Great Lever, was found on an all-weather football pitch at Heywood's Adventure Playground, off High Street, Great Lever, on November 5.
Booth and the boy, who both deny murder, appeared at Manchester Crown Court via video-link today.
The hearing was adjourned until February 18 for a pre-trial review, ahead of a planned trial in Manchester on March 10.
