Girls charged with murder get date for trial


A date has been set for the trial of two teenage girls aged 13 and 14 who are charged with murdering a Angela Wrightson, a 39-year-old woman from Hartlepool in December.


Angela Wrightson's body was found at her home in Stephen Street, Hartlepool, in December. A post mortem revealed she died from blood loss and had suffered substantial injuries.


At a brief hearing at Teesside Crown Court, a trial date for either June 24 or June 29 was agreed. Mr Justice Glove will be the judge.


A plea and case management hearing will take place on March 3.


Neither of the defendants, who cannot be identified, were brought to court for the short hearing.
