A 17-year-old boy from Barking charged with the murder of girl scout Jodie Chesney has been remanded in custody.
Jodie, 17, was stabbed to death while playing music in a park with friends close to St Neot's Road, Harold Hill, on March 1.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is the fourth person to be charged with murdering the teenager.

They are due to stand trial on September 2 at the Old Bailey.
