Two 15-year-old boys have been remanded into custody accused of murdering a teenager who died after being stabbed.

Darrian Williams was attacked at about 18:00 GMT in Rawnsley Park, in Easton, Bristol, on Wednesday.

The defendants also face a charge of possessing a knife in a public place and made separate appearances at Bristol Youth Court.

The boys, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, will appear at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday.

They spoke only to confirm their names, dates of birth and addresses during the brief court appearances.

After the incident, Darrian ran to nearby Stapleton Road where he was helped by a motorist before collapsing in West Street, Old Market.

He died at the scene despite the efforts of emergency services.
