A BULWELL man and a 16-year-old charged with murder are to face a retrial at Nottingham Crown Court.
Joshua Davey was alleged to have stabbed father-of-one Danny Parekh 16 times, leaving him with fatal injuries in an incident at the Oakleigh Street Play Park in Old Basford.
They had been on trial at Lincoln Crown Court this month, but Judge Michael Heath discharged the jury for legal reasons.
Davey and the boy will now face a new trial on September 4.
Davey, 20, of Deptford Crescent, and the boy, aged 16, both denied murder on July 7 last year.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be identified, also denied encouraging or assisting to carry out an assault on Danny Parekh and a further charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm to a teenage girl.
