16-year-old accused of assaulting and murdering 14-year-old schoolgirl, and then having sex with her corpse
The boy, who remains unnamed because of his juvenile status, has pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
A teenage boy who has been accused of brutally murdering a 14-year-old girl and then having sex with her corpse made his appearance at the Wolverhampton Crown Court this past week.
The 16-year-old suspect, who cannot be named because of his juvenile status, was apprehended in the murder and rape of Viktorija Sokolova, who was found dead in West Park, Wolverhampton, on April 13.
According to the Daily Mail, the 14-year-old was found dead just yards away from where her family, originally from Lithuania, lived. A passerby first came across her body and alerted the authorities, with an investigation into her murder resulting in the capture of the 16-year-old boy.
