The fire damaged mosque
A date has been set for the trial of a teenager charged with setting fire to a mosque in Morden.
The 16-year-old boy from Walton-on-Thames, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is charged with one count of arson with intent to endanger life, or being reckless as to whether life was endangered, and one count of arson to the value of £6,078,311.73.
He was just 14-years-old when he was arrested the day after a fire at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London Road on September 26, 2015.
The boy denied both charges at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, February 8. His trial has now been set to begin at Kingston Crown Court on July 3.
