THREE youths are awaiting sentence by Burnley Crown Court after admitting violence offences.

Luke Pickering, 19, of Earnsdale Road, Darwen, pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, last August, while his twin brother Ryan, of the same address and Christopher McGuire, 20, of The Lord Raglan Hotel, Kings Road, Blackburn, both admitted affray.

They were warned by Judge P Sycamore that all options would be open to the court but custody was going to be at the forefront of its mind.
