Two teenagers are on trial for the murder of 15-year-old Luis Guembes, who was stabbed in Stoke Park, Guildford, in January.

Two teenagers appeared at Guildford Crown Court as a jury was sworn in for the trial of Luis Guembes Quimper, a 15-year-old boy who died after being stabbed in Stoke Park, Guildford, on 19 January. The defendants, aged 15 and 16 at the time of the incident, cannot be named because of their age.

Guembes was stabbed in the back of the abdomen. Members of the public and paramedics attended to him at the scene, but he was pronounced dead there. The two teenagers face charges of murder, conspiracy to rob and possession of a bladed article. Both have been remanded in youth detention.

Guembes' school described him as a talented footballer who 'exuded a joy and love of life that was impossible to miss'. His family said he would be 'forever remembered, never forgotten'. The trial is expected to last up to four weeks.
