A post-mortem examination found that Baye Bireme Fall died from a single stab wound

Two teenagers are facing a trial later this year charged with the murder of a 16-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in Peterborough. Baye Bireme Fall was attacked near the Orton Centre shopping centre in Peterborough on Sunday, April 12.

A post-mortem examination recorded that he died from a single stab wound, Cambridgeshire Police said. Emidas Krutkevicius, 18, of Peterborough, and a 15-year-old boy who cannot be identified for legal reasons, are charged with Baye’s murder.

Both defendants appeared by video-link before Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, April 17. The judge and barristers removing their wigs because of the age of the youth defendant. The youth defendant’s parents listened to proceedings from the public gallery.

Neither defendant was asked to enter a plea and no application for bail was made. Both defendants spoke to confirm their name and date of birth, and to confirm that they understood what was happening and could hear.

Judge Mark Bishop instructed that a plea hearing would take place at the same court on May 19. He set a provisional trial date of October 12 at Huntingdon Crown Court. The trial is expected to last around four weeks.

He remanded Krutkevicius in custody, and the 15-year-old into youth detention accommodation.

Baye’s family said in a tribute released by earlier this week that he was “an amazing boy and son whose heart is pure and kind towards other people”.
