A TRIAL date has been set for a man accused of killing his 15-year-old sister at a caravan park in North Wales.
Matthew Selby, 19, appeared at Mold Crown Court on Wednesday charged with the murder of sister Amanda.
Selby, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, appeared by videolink from HMP Berwyn for the hearing, which lasted about 15 minutes, and spoke only to confirm his name.
He was arrested after officers were called to a report of a “domestic disturbance” at Ty Mawr Holiday Park in Towyn, near Abergele, on Saturday afternoon.
Judge Rhys Rowlands set a provisional trial date for February 28.

An order made under Section 45 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 to ban the naming of the victim was lifted by the judge.
