A 16-year-old accused of murdering teacher Ann Maguire in her classroom has accepted responsibility for her killing.
Mrs Maguire, 61, was fatally stabbed at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Halton Moor, Leeds, on April 28.
Defence QC Richard Wright told Leeds Crown Court: "He accepts responsibility for unlawful killing. He is not entering a plea. He does accept manslaughter.
"The issue in the case will be whether or not a partial defence is available to him."

He was remanded in custody until the pre-trial hearing on September 28.
Mrs Maguire's family were among those inside a packed courtroom.
