Luis Gabriel Guembes, 15, died at the scene of the stabbing, police said

Two teenage boys accused of the fatal stabbing of a 15-year-old boy have made their first appearance at crown court.

The defendants, aged 15 and 16, face charges of murder and conspiracy to rob following the death of Luis Gabriel Guembes.

Police were called to woodland off Lido Road in Stoke Park, Guildford, at 18.10 GMT on 19 January following reports of the stabbing.

The accused, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have also been charged with possession of a bladed article.

The defendants only spoke to confirm their names at the brief hearing at Guildford Crown Court earlier.

They have been remanded in custody by Judge Catherine Hartley until 23 February.
