Walsall schoolboy in court accused of murdering Keon Lincoln
Two teenagers have appeared in court charged with murder after a schoolboy was killed in a gun and knife attack.
Keon Lincoln, 15, was set upon by a group of youths with weapons in broad daylight on Linwood Road in the Handsworth area of Birmingham on January 21.
On Monday, a 14-year-old boy, from Birmingham, and a 15-year-old boy, from Walsall, appeared at the city's magistrates' court accused of Keon's murder.
The Birmingham teenager has also been charged with possession of a firearm and the Walsall youth has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon - namely a knife.
They spoke only to confirm their names and dates of birth during two separate hearings.
Keon died at Birmingham Children's Hospital after the attack near the junction with Whateley Road.
The incident is thought to have involved up to six people.
The defendants, who cannot be named because of their ages, were remanded in custody to appear at Birmingham Crown Court on February 3.
