A TEENAGER charged with the murder of Lee Turner has had his case adjourned.

The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is alleged to have killed the 33-year-old in a field in Gorse Hill on October 10.

He was not at the hearing this morning at Bristol Crown Court.

Prosecutor Simon Jones asked the court to adjourn the case. There was no bail application and the defendant was remanded in custody until the pre-trial preparation hearing on November 19.
