The 19-year-old, of Windermere Crescent in Ashton-Under-Lyne, appeared at Mold Crown Court on Monday morning, North Wales Live reports.

Judge Rhys Rowlands adjourned the case for sentencing, adding that "a lot more" work needed to be carried out now - including a psychiatric report.

He confirmed a provisional date of Friday, March 18, at Mold Crown Court in North Wales.

A provisional cause of death for Amanda Selby was given by a coroner as asphyxia due to neck compression, external airways obstruction and crush asphyxia.

The family previously paid tribute to the 15-year-old following the "tragic" news of her death.

Their statement read: “Amanda was a loving daughter and granddaughter – she was caring, thoughtful, liked to help others and very much loved. She will be very sadly missed."
