TWO teenagers have appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of a soldier in Golborne.
Michael Higham, 18, of Nook Lane, Golborne and a 16-year-old youth appeared separately this week at Wigan Magistrates after Phillip Sharples, 26, was injured last Friday night.
Higham was remanded in custody and the 16-year-old has been granted conditional bail.
The case was adjourned to February 12 when both will appear at Manchester Crown Court.
A third man who was helping police with their inquires was released on Tuesday morning without charge.
