Trial for burglar murder accused

Tyler Juett, 17, died in hospital from stab wounds

A trial date has been set for a man accused of murdering a teenager who broke into a house.

Omari Roberts, 23, of Heathfield Road, Old Basford, is accused of stabbing burglars Tyler Juett, 17, who died, and a 14-year-old boy.

Mr Roberts indicated to Nottingham Crown Court earlier he would plead not guilty at a formal hearing in January.

Mr Roberts, who is also accused of wounding with intent, was given conditional bail.

It is alleged he stabbed the teenagers as they broke into the house in Heathfield Road, Old Basford, on 13 March.

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

The trial is due to take place on April 19 and last seven days.

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.
