Nottingham: Boy, 13, appears in court charged with murder

Jack Edwards, 24, was attacked near Sussex Street Skate Park on Tuesday

A 13-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with murder after a man died following an attack near a skate park.

Jack Edwards, 24, was found near Sussex Street Skate Park in Nottingham at about 18:50 GMT on Tuesday.

He died in hospital two days later after sustaining "significant" head injuries, Nottinghamshire Police said.

The 13-year-old is also charged with robbery. Kai Howitt, 18, previously charged with murder and robbery, also appeared at a crown court earlier.

A 16-year-old girl has also been charged with robbery in connection with the attack

Helen Wreford, chair of the bench at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, which was sitting as a youth court, remanded the boy into youth accommodation to appear before Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday.

Mr Howitt also appeared at the crown court on Monday charged with murder and robbery.

He was remanded into custody until a further hearing on 2 January.

A 16-year-old girl, who cannot be identified due to her age, is expected to appear before magistrates later, charged with robbery.

Three boys - 17, 13 and 12 - and two girls, 15 and 14, who were previously arrested in connection with the attack, have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
