THIRTEEN youths charged over the murder of a  15-year-old schoolboy at Victoria Station will face two separate Old Bailey trials.

The defendants, all aged between 16 and 17 except for an 18-year-old girl, will be divided into two groups by prosecutors for the trials, the first of which is scheduled to begin in January next year.

Sofyen Belamouadden, from Acton, was stabbed during rush-hour in front of hundreds of commuters in the underground section of the station last month.
