A 21-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of a teenage boy in Sydenham.

Marley Lucas, of Champion Road, Sydenham, is accused of stabbing 18-year-old Nathan Murray to death in Sydenham High Street on June 1.

A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Murray died from a stab wound to the chest.

Lucas remains in custody and will next appear at the Old Bailey for a pre-trial review on November 2.

A trial has been provisionally set for November 23 at the same court.

A 16-year-old girl arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed by police until the end of this month.
