Teenager on £10,000 bail
It is alleged the young man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, murdered 24-year-old Scott Wadman in Gibbon Road, Newhaven, on September 28.
Mr Wadman died from stab wounds to the chest.
At Lewes Youth Court, on Thursday last week, magistrates granted bail on condition the youth stayed with his grandparents outside Sussex; remained indoors between 7.30pm-7.30am; reported daily to the local police station and did not attempt to contact any witnesses. The youth's grandparents also put up a 10,000 security to be forfeited if the bail conditions were broken.
The court heard that a full trial could not go ahead at present as full forensic and medical reports had yet to be completed.
