Adam's body parts were found scattered around the town
|
Four people have appeared in court accused of murdering Loughborough schoolboy Adam Morrell.
Nathan Barnett, 26, Matthew Welsh, 19, Daniel Biggs, 18, and a 16-year-old girl did not enter any pleas during a brief hearing.
The four are accused of murdering 14-year-old Adam, whose corpse was dismembered, between 13 and 18 November.
The youngster's remains were found wrapped in black bin-bags thrown in a canal, near allotments and on a playing field.
Judge Michael Stokes QC, sitting at Leicester Crown Court, adjourned the case for a plea-and-direction hearing in May.
Mr Barnett and Mr Welsh, both of Havelock Street, Loughborough, and Mr Biggs, of Park Road in the town, were remanded back into custody.
The 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named because of her age, was remanded back into secure accommodation.
