A 16-year-old boy wept in court as he was told he could face a life sentence if convicted of murdering Harry Pitman on New Year’s Eve in north London.
The boy, who is from north London and cannot be named because of his age, is charged with using a hunting knife to kill Harry, also 16, as a crowd gathered to watch a fireworks display on Primrose Hill. He was also charged with carrying an offensive weapon in a public place.
