A MAN accused of murdering a Bolton teenager appeared in an Australian court on Wednesday.
James Robert Duggan, aged 19, of Quinns Rock, near Perth, is charged with the wilful murder of 19-year-old Rebecca Ryle.
The teenager's semi-naked body was found in a school playground yards from her new home in Mindarie on May 6. She had been strangled.
The former Turton High School pupil, formerly of Hardy Mill Road, Harwood, had moved to Australia with her family six months earlier.
Duggan was further remanded in custody by Joondalup Magistrates Court.
