A TEENAGER has denied stabbing a 19-year-old to death near a bus stop in Lewisham High Street.

Jordan Mayers, also 19, pleaded not guilty to the murder of Emmanuel Odunewu via video link from prison at the Old Bailey yesterday.

Mayers, of Birch Grove, Grove Park, spoke only to confirm his name and plea.

He is due to stand trial at the Old Bailey from July 9.

Mr Odunewu was admitted to Lewisham hospital after the attack on November 28 last year but died from his injuries two days later.

Mayers has been remanded in custody.
