Tyler Juett, 17, died in hospital from stab wounds

A man has been charged with murdering a 17-year-old who was stabbed after breaking into a house in Nottingham.

Omari Roberts is accused of stabbing Tyler Juett, 17, and a 14-year-old as they broke into the house in Heathfield Road, Old Basford, on 13 March.

Mr Juett, of Aspley, died later at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre.

The Crown Prosecution Service said 23-year-old Mr Roberts' alleged actions were "not reasonable" and he should face prosecution.

As well as the murder charge, Mr Roberts, of Heathfield Road in Old Basford, Nottingham, is accused of wounding with intent.

He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court earlier and was sent for trial at the city's crown court, where he is due to appear on 10 November, a court official said.

Mr Juett's 14-year-old companion, who cannot be identified, pleaded guilty to burglary at Nottingham Youth Court on 14 May and was sentenced to two years' detention.
