1/1 A NEW court date has been announced for a boy accused of the murder of a city restaurant boss. The teenager was charged over the death of the Donatello and Pinocchio restaurant owner Sue Addis. Mrs Addis was found dead at her £1 million home in Cedars Gardens, Withdean on January 7. The death of the 69-year-old mother and grandmother shocked the community, with hundreds of tributes and messages of condolence being issued. Police charged the 17-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, with murder. During a 14 minute hearing at Brighton Crown Court, lawyers agreed a new court date when the teenager may enter a plea to the charges.
One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said she saw Mrs Addis last week. She said: “I’ve met her a few times. She came to drop some post off so I literally saw her last week. “She was a lovely lady who was dropping off post that was delivered to the wrong address. “I’ve seen her go in the mornings to work and I know she’s got grandchildren who would always come and play football in the garden. There were countless tributes to Ms Addis, who was a prominent figure in the Brighton business world.
