Mary-Ann accused admits kidnap

ONE of six men accused of murdering teenager Mary-Ann Leneghan and attempting to murder another girl has admitted kidnapping the pair.

Joshua Morally, 23, of Balham, south London, yesterday changed his plea to guilty on two charges moments before a fresh jury was brought in to try the six, including Morally and his brother Jamaile, 22, on charges of murder, attempted murder, kidnap, rape and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Joshua Morally continues to deny charges of murder, attempted murder, rape and causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Mary-Ann and her friend in Reading, Berkshire, on the night of May 6-7 last year.
