A BOXER accused of murdering Burnley teenager Jane Young is facing 14 further charges.

Factory hand Lupine Silva, 22, appeared at Christchurch District Court, New Zealand, on Wednesday, charged with ploughing his car at speed into a group of teenagers at party in the town, around 10.45pm on May 6.

Jane, 16, who emigrated with her family from Ightenhill, Burnley, four years ago, died along with Hannah Rossiter, also 16. Another 10 people were hurt.

Silva had already been charged with murdering Jane and Hannah.

At court this week it was revealed Silva had been charged with eight new counts of wounding with intent to cause bodily harm, and six alternative charges of attempted murder.

New Zealand police had told a previous hearing that Silva allegedly drove a Honda Integra into the crowd of up to 500 partygoers.

Revellers described the scene where Jane was killed as "like a war zone".

Police had been called to try to control the house party earlier that evening, after the hosts became concerned at the number of gatecrashers.

Jane had been planning to leave the party, and was waiting for a friend outside the house when she was struck.

Her family paid tribute to her as a high achiever who her three brothers looked up to.

Sila, a Samoan immigrant to New Zealand, was described as "happy go-lucky" by members of his old boxing club.

His former coach, Mike Plimley, said he was a "good guy" and committed churchgoer who could have gone on to represent New Zealand in boxing if he had continued his training.

Sila was remanded in custody to reappear in a fortnight.
