The trial of two teenagers accused of attempted murder following a stabbing in Colchester in March, which was due to start on Monday, has been adjourned.

Before Ipswich Crown Court on Friday via a video link for a pre-trial review were Joseph Little, 18, of St Mary’s Close, Panfield, near Braintree, and Zac Henry, 18 of Maple Court, Cambridge.

They are both accused of attempted murder.

No new date has been given for the trial and further hearing will take place next week.

The defendants are both in custody.

Officers were called to Magdalen Street at around 11pm on March 31 following reports that a man had been stabbed.
