The teenagers appeared in court in two separate hearings after the court heard one of the 14-year-olds had not been given his medication for his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He appeared shortly after his co-accused. | |
The teenagers were remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on Thursday. |
