Boy, 14, appears in court charged with Horsforth murder
15-year-old Alfie Lewis died on Tuesday afternoon
A 14-year-old boy has appeared in court accused of murdering another teenager in Horsforth in Leeds.
Alfie Lewis, 15, was attacked on Tuesday afternoon as children were leaving two nearby schools.
On Thursday a teenager appeared at Leeds Magistrates' Court charged with the murder of Alfie and possession of a knife.
The boy blew a kiss to his parents, who sat in front of the dock, as he came into court.
Wearing a grey tracksuit he confirmed his name, date of birth and address.
The court clerk told him the alleged offences could only be dealt with at crown court.
He was remanded in custody until his next appearance at Leeds Crown Court on Friday.
As he was walking out of the dock, the defendant's mother stood up and spoke to him, before starting to cry as he was led away.
A large area around the junction of Church Road and Church Lane was cordoned off on Wednesday afternoon with forensic officers continuing to work.
