A mother and son have been charged with murdering a teenager with a machete.
Nicola Leighton, 36, allegedly drove her son, Tyreese Ulysses, 19, and three other youths to the scene of the killing, a court heard.
Armed with machetes, the four teenagers allegedly stabbed 17-year-old Levi Ernest-Morrison to death.
The killing, in Hazel Grove, Syndenham, south-east London, on April 10 is said to have been a “pre-planned” attack.
Leighton, of Sydenham, Ulysses, of nearby Catford, and three youths, aged 14, 15, and 17, have been charged with Levi’s murder.
On Monday, Ulysses appeared at the Old Bailey for his first appearance at a Crown Court, and was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon.
