Teenager's murder case delayed by three months after NT's forensic pathologist takes leave
In short:
A 17-year-old boy who police allege stabbed a man to death in Tennant Creek three months ago has faced the Youth Justice Court charged with his murder.
Prosecutors asked Judge Carly Ingles for a three-month adjournment after telling the court the Northern Territory's permanent forensic pathologist was on leave.
What's next?
The case will return to court in December but prosecutors say they cannot guarantee a post-mortem report will be complete by then.
