Two teenagers accused of shooting dead Peter Woodhams have denied murdering the 22-year-old father, who grew up in Croydon.

Bradley Tucker, 18, and a 17-year-old youth who cannot be named, pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder and to having a gun when they appeared at the Old Bailey, via a video-link, on Friday morning.

Peter Woodhams, who grew up in New Addington and went to school in South Norwood, was shot on August 21 following an alleged confrontation near his home in Canning Town, east London.

The two teenagers were remanded in custody until their trial on March 5.
