Man accused of murdering schoolboy Dylan Bragger makes new appearance before judge
A man accused of murdering a Skelmersdale schoolboy has appeared before a judge again.
Dylan Bragger, 15, was pronounced dead after officers were called to reports of a stabbing in Digmoor Road at around 9pm on Thursday June 29 this year.
Felipe Figueiredo, 28, of Birleywood, Skelmersdale, was later charged with murder and at a Preston Crown Court hearing earlier this month he entered a not guilty plea to the single charge.
A trial date of January 12 was confirmed at the latest hearing.
Another pre-trial review is, however, scheduled to take place on October 13.
Following the youngster’s death, relatives described him as a “gentle giant” with a “heart of gold” who was “working towards becoming a car mechanic and had his whole life ahead of him”.
