A TEENAGER jailed for murdering a 16-year-old boy outside a McDonald's restaurant is back at home after being freed by the High Court.

Jason Honeyghon, now 18, spent 14 months behind bars after being found guilty of the February 1996 killing of Danny Westmacott outside the restaurant in Fore Street, Edmonton.

Mr Honeyghon, of Tottenham, maintained his innocence throughout his time in prison, during which his baby son Shaquille was born.

The reasons why the conviction was overturned will be made public next week.

Noel Sayles, 17, who was also convicted of the stabbing, had his appeal turned down.
