Reehan Nazir, aged 18 of Edith Road, Smethwickand a 14-year-old, who can't be named for legal reasons were due to be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court this morning after admitting manslaughter, robbery and possession of an offensive weapon at Bolton Crown Court in an earlier hearing
But Lord Justice Brown agreed to adjourn the case after legal counsel for the 14-year-old argued further medical reports were needed before sentence was possible.
He said: "I recognise the time and effort made by everyone to come up to Manchester for the sentencing but I feel it would be fairer to sentence the two defendants together and I am currently not able to fairly do that until further medical reports are received."
Issac Brown, aged 15, was stabbed to death in New Square, West Bromwich just after 9pm on April 7 last year.
Sentencing will now take place on Monday April 14, again at Manchester Crown Court.
