A MAN accused of murdering a teenager in Liverpool city centre has been granted bail. James Roberts, 20, was bailed by Liverpool magistrates court yesterday after he appeared over the death of 18-year-old Andrew Jones. Roberts, of Nyland Road, Huyton, will next appear before Liverpool crown court on April 14. Mr Jones, from Walton, was knocked to the floor by a single punch as he celebrated a friend's birthday in the city centre on March 9. He failed to regain consciousness after the incident, which happened at the corner of Gradwell Street and Hanover Street in Liverpool city centre in the early hours.
