London - Two 15-year-old boys yesterday denied murdering Nigerian schoolboy Damilola Taylor, who was stabbed to death in a stairwell on a south London estate last year. The boys appeared briefly at the Old Bailey in London for the first time yesterday where they pleaded not guilty to murdering the 10-year-old on November 27th, 2000.
Proceedings against two other teenagers aged 14 and 16 - also accused of the murder - were adjourned to a later date. The trial date was set for January 15th next year.
