Jury chosen for murder trial

A jury has been sworn in for the trial of three teenagers charged with murdering a schoolboy whose dismembered body was found by police.

Matthew Welsh, 19, Daniel John Biggs, 18, and 17-year-old Sarah Morris are accused in relation to the killing of 14-year-old Adam Morrell in Loughborough, Leicestershire.

The teenager died between November 14 and 18, 2002.

A jury of seven women and five men were chosen, before Mr Justice Morland adjourned the opening of the case until Wednesday, to allow legal submissions.

The three accused are all from Loughborough.

Mr Welsh and Ms Morris, both of Havelock Street, and Mr Biggs, of Park Road, all denied killing the schoolboy, at an earlier hearing.

The trial is expected to last three weeks.
