Islington man, 20, faces court accused of murdering girl, 16

An Old Bailey jury has been sworn in to try the case of a man accused of the murder of a 16-year-old girl who was found strangled.

Zack Sackett, 20, of Outram Place, Islington, north London, is alleged to have killed Jessie Wright.

Jessie's body was found dumped in a derelict yard in the King's Cross area in March last year. Sackett denies murder.
