Sam Harrison, 19, of Salerno Drive, Huyton, appeared by video link at
Liverpool Crown Court where he pleaded not guilty to murder, but
admitted manslaughter.
He was remanded in custody until May 21 when he will face trial on
the murder allegation.
Wickramasingha, a father-of-two, was originally from Sri Lanka and
had come to the UK to support his family. He was described by friends as
"a brilliant man, well-liked, very courteous and polite".
