A teenager accused of murdering an 18-year-old on his way home from a prom has appeared in court.
Kajetan Migdal died in hospital after being attacked at Cuttys Lane, Stevenage, Hertfordshire at around 11:20pm GMT on Friday.
Patrick Sharp, 18, is accused of murder when he tried to steal his car keys, possession of a knife and possession of cocaine from Mr Migdal.
On August 8, he was remanded in custody for a plea hearing.
November 28 was set as the provisional hearing date.
In a statement, Mr Migdal’s family said they were “devastated” and that he was “missed greatly by all who knew him”.
Mr Migdal’s school, Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School, confirmed the incident happened after the 13th grade prom.
Headmaster Clive Matthew said Mr Migdal was “an ongoing source of pride for the school and is known for his love of dance”.
“He was a member of Prospects Fraternity, the dance troupe that won the hearts of the school and the nation, and he did so well on the BBC show The Greatest Dancer in 2019,” he said.
