FIVE teenagers have denied inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.

Yesterday, William Barker, of Eynsham Road, Farmoor, Thomas Houseman, of Elizabeth Avenue, Abingdon, Luke James, of London Road, Didcot, and Harry O’Connor, of Swinburne Road, Abingdon, all appeared in Oxford Crown Court alongside a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons.

The attack allegedly took place in Abingdon on November 3 last year. They are due to go on trial on June 29 next year.
