Damilola bled to death after being stabbed with a broken bottle
Three teenagers charged with the murder of schoolboy Damilola Taylor in November 2000 have appeared at the Old Bailey via video link.

Hassan Jihad, 19, and two brothers, aged 16 and 17, all from Peckham in south-east London, were remanded in custody until 8 April on Friday.

Damilola bled to death after being injured with a broken bottle on his way home from school.

In 2002, four youths stood trial for the killing but were cleared.

Police have confirmed the three teenagers had previously been arrested over the killing, but were not charged at the time.

Detectives said the three would have been aged between 12 and 14 at the time of Damilola's death.
