Funeral announced for tragic Mansfield teen Liam Peters

Liam Peters, who was just 18, was fatally injured in Gladstone Street on August 1.

The service will be followed by a cremation at Mansfield Crematorium on Derby Road.

Liam’s family have requested that mourners wear colours, and anything they feel comfortable in.

Part of the donations will go to to Liam and Sian’s nine-week-old daughter Isla Paige Peters, and some to The Missing Piece Charity, who support bereaved families.

A 17-year-old youth appeared at Nottingham Crown Court via videolink on August 6, charged with Liam’s murder.

No application was made at the hearing, but the trial date was pencilled in for January 27 with an estimated length of two weeks.

A plea and trial preparation hearing was arranged for November 4.
