Newbold

Spencer, from Newbold on Stour, pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court to death by careless driving and three counts of causing serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving.

The boys, aged 12 to 14, were held after reports of an incident at Newbold in Rochdale on Saturday, Greater Manchester Police said.

Terrance Bethel, her 28-year-old alleged lover, and co-conspirator Faron Newbold, 29, also appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley.

Police had been searching the water and land around Newbold Quarry since Toby's disappearance more than six weeks ago.

"At present, the evidence we have gathered strongly supports the conclusion that Toby went to Newbold Quarry alone for a swim and that, tragically, he got into difficulty and remains in the water," Det Insp Gareth Unett said in a statement agreed with Toby's family at the time.
