A TEENAGER accused of the manslaughter of a talented Dinnington artist has been further remanded in custody.
Lawyers defending the 15-year-old Anston boy made no attempt for bail when he appeared before Rotherham Youth Court on Thursday, charged with killing Jonathan Harper.
The youngster is alleged to have punched Mr Harper, causing him to fall into Nursery Road where he was hit by a car.
A second post mortem into the 47-year-old's death - requested by the defence - corroborated the findings of the first, that Mr Harper died from multiple injuries.
His funeral will take place at St Leonard's Church, Dinnington, on Wednesday at 2.40pm.
Mr Harper was described as 'gentle, talented and irreplaceable' by family and friends.
