A TEENAGER has gone on trial accused of stabbing his grandmother to death. Lewis Dale, 17, denies murdering Irene Dale and attempting to murder his grandfather Allan Dale. Both were stabbed.
The case against him is due to be opened at Hull Crown Court tomorrow morning. A new jury of six men and six women have been sworn in this afternoon after the initial jury had to be discharged.
Judge Jeremy Richardson QC told them: "I am sure when you heard the words murder and attempted murder there was an inevitable emotional response. All of that is utterly understandable. Those two charges are the most serious a citizen can face. It is very important you place all emotion to one side."
The trial is expected to last into next week.
