AN 18-year-old has appeared in court charged with making a threat to kill his mother and affray at her home in Great Harwood.
Lee Birkett, of Preston New Road, Blackburn, was ordered to stand trial at Preston Crown Court and he was remanded in custody for the preparation of committal papers.
Birkett indicated not guilty pleas to the charges, which arise out of an incident on February 9 when he is alleged to have brandished a knife after being told to leave his mother Dorothy's home.
