A third teenager has been charged with the murder of a man outside a church.
Steven McMyler, 34, was kicked in the head in the grounds of Wigan Parish Church shortly before 7.50pm on August 6 and pronounced dead at the scene.
A 17-year-old youth from the Merseyside area, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was due to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
Jordan Short, 19, of Rushey Hey Road, Kirkby, and a 13-year-old boy, also from Merseyside, have already appeared in court this week and were further remanded in custody.
In a tribute, Mr McMyler's family said he was "a popular lad" who had "a heart of gold".
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
