AN 18-YEAR-OLD has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after a shooting in a children’s playground.

Joshan Addison appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday (October 21) for a plea and trial preparation hearing in connection with the shooting in Loxford Park, Ilford in early August.

The “shocking” daytime attack in Loxford Lane left a 11-year-old boy and 22-year-old man injured.

The case was adjourned with no plea entered until November 14.

His trial date has been set for March 27 next year.
