A TEENAGER accused of murder has made her first crown court appearance.

Prosecutor, Alan Kent, told the court Ms Scamp faced an allegation of murdering 28-year-old Jason Bull, who was living with her at the time.

Mr Bull died on Monday, March 13 - his 28th birthday - in Beach Street, Sheerness, from stab wounds.

Ms Scamp appeared wearing a white top and grey tracksuit bottoms with her haird tied back in a ponytail.

She is due to appear again at Maidstone Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing on June 2.

Investigations are continuing into Mr Bull’s death.
