A teenager accused of stabbing to death an aspiring rapper in Thornton Heath is to stand trial for his murder in December.

A 17-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, appeared at the Old Bailey today charged with killing 20-year-old Mujaahid Wilson in Thornton Heath High Street on March 14.

The teenager is set to appear in court to enter a plea on August 25 before the trial starts on December 5.

Mr Wilson, known by friends as Tiny Sneaky, died of a single stab wound to the heart following a fight outside a pizza takeaway.
