A TEENAGER faced a Leyland court on Wednesday (February 5) charged with the murder of Bamber Bridge woman Barbara Morgan.

The 17-year-old appeared in Leyland's juvenile court.

The body of the 37-year-old was found at her home in School Lane just before 4pm last Tuesday.

Mrs Morgan, who was born in the Bamber Bridge area, had only recently moved back to the town with her son following the death of her husband.

"She kept herself to herself but she was always very friendly."
