Two teenagers to go on trial for murder of Jesse Nwokejiobi, 17, in Cambridge

Two teenage boys will go on trial for the murder of 17-year-old Jesse Nwokejiobi in Cambridge.

Jesse died following a stabbing at Logan’s Meadow reserve on November 19.

Two 16-year-old boys, arrested at properties in south London, appeared before Cambridge Crown Court last week charged with his murder.

They were not asked to enter a plea and no application for bail was made.

Both defendants were remanded in custody until a plea hearing at Cambridge Crown Court on January 6.

Judge Mark Bishop set a provisional trial date of May 30, 2023, with the venue to be confirmed.
