13-year-old pleads guilty to murder of Christopher John Barry
A 13-year-old boy has admitted murdering Christopher John Barry at the Old Bailey today (6 March).
Barry, also known as Jack, was knifed to death after an argument with a group of teenagers at the entrance of a block of flats in the Edmonton neighbourhood of Enfield, north London.
The 53-year-old was with a woman when two of the youths followed him into the block, where he was stabbed.
It was believed the gang was trying to get into a party at one of the properties in the block of flats.
The boy, dressed in a light blue shirt and grey trousers, entered his plea before being remanded in custody until his sentencing on 10 April.
