A 17-year-old accused of murdering father-of-three Adrian Brown in Moss Side has been remanded into local authority care after appearing in court for the first time.
Adrian Brown, 34, was fatally stabbed at the West Indian Sports and Social Club in Moss Side at around 11pm on May 8 this year. The teenager, who cannot be identified because he is under 18, is accused of his murder.
The boy waved from the dock to his parents in the public gallery when he was brought into Manchester Magistrates' Court on November 5.
Court Appearance and Remand
Mr Brown, a musician known as Dre, suffered stab wounds to the chest and died in hospital. District Judge Margaret McCormack ordered the accused to be remanded into local authority care to appear at Manchester Crown Court on Friday.
A co-accused, Taoi Lee, 18, of Heald Green, Stockport, appeared separately at the same court accused of attempted assault occasioning actual bodily harm towards Mr Brown.
Bail Conditions
Judge McCormack bailed Lee to appear along with the teenager at the crown court on Friday. Lee's bail conditions are not to enter Moss Side, not to contact Mr Brown's family or his co-defendant, observe a curfew and report to a police station three times a week.
