THE teenager accused of the attempted murder of Acomb pensioner Edwin Hopper has been remanded in custody for a second time.
Solicitor Damien Morrison made no bail application when the 17-year-old from west York appeared before magistrates. The teenager will next appear before York Youth Court in a week's time.
A spokeswoman for York District Hospital today said Mr Hopper's condition was slightly improved.
