TWO teenagers from Didcot are to stand trial at Oxford Crown Court early in the New Year over the murder of youth whose body was found in a secluded lane near Reading last summer.
The pair, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will stand charged with the murder and abduction of Richard Parker, 18, from Wallingford, when they make their first appearance before a judge on January 2.
Mr Parker's body was found lying face down in a water-filled ditch in the village of Hurst in Berkshire on June 30. He had been repeatedly stabbed.
