A 15-year-old boy accused of stabbing a teenager to death near a Sydney high school will spend Christmas behind bars.
The victim, a boy aged 17, died from stab wounds to his thigh after a confrontation at a park in Sydney’s north-west at about 4.20pm on Monday.
About three hours later, the younger boy arrived at a police station with a parent and was subsequently charged with murder.
The teen, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, faced a children’s court on Tuesday morning.
He sat quietly in the courtroom, wearing a black hoodie and sporting a mullet haircut with shaved sides.
Police asked the court for an order to take forensic evidence from the teenager, including a DNA swab.
