A TEENAGER has admitted lying to police about the death of six-week-old Amelia Jones from Cwmbran more than two years ago.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Cardiff Crown Court today where he pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice over the death of baby Amelia.
Her grandfather, 45-year-old Mark Jones, appeared in court via video link from prison. He denies murder and will stand trial next year.
The teenage boy admitted “giving a false account to police” in relation to the death.
The boy was released on bail and will be sentenced in Cwmbran Youth Court in January.
