A 14-year-old boy has denied murdering a teenage girl whose body was found in woodland.

Lilly Jones, also 14, was discovered in Duffryn Park in Blaina, Blaenau Gwent, on 22 June, two days after her family reported her missing.

She died of multiple stab wounds to the neck and body.

At Newport Crown Court on Tuesday, the defendant from Blaenau Gwent, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded not guilty to her murder.
