A 16-year-old boy has appeared in court charged with murder after a man was fatally stabbed in Leicester.

Police said Louis Howard, 35, died at the scene after officers were called to a house in Oakdale Close, Braunstone Frith, shortly after 22:40 BST on Wednesday.

A post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Howard died from a stab wound.

The boy, who cannot be named due to his age, spoke only to confirm his name and address during a short hearing at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
