Hide AdA 17-year-old from Chorley is due to appear at Preston Crown Court tomorrow after being charged with Alex’s murder.
The youth, who cannot be named because of his age, had been arrested last Friday evening and was subsequently charged after a weekend of questioning by detectives.
Despite a murder charge being made, police are continuing their investigation and are appealing to the public for any information, and are keen to view motorists’ dashcam footage from the Parbold Hill area on the day Alex was last seen alive.
