A provisional trial date has been set for a 15-year-old boy accused of murdering a nine-year-old girl.
It is the second time the teenager – who cannot be named for legal reasons – has appeared in front of a judge since Aria Thorpe was found dead at a house in Weston-super-Mare on Monday.
The defendant, who appeared via video link from youth detention accommodation, spoke only to confirm his name and did not enter a plea.
Judge Peter Blair KC set a provisional trial date of 15 June, with proceedings expected to last two weeks.
