Teenager, 17, on trial accused of murdering his 'mate' denies having 'beef' with him
A teenager on trial accused of murdering his 'mate' denied having any 'beef' with him. The 17-year-old, who can't be named for legal reasons, is one of four teenagers on trial accused of the murder of Kyle Hackland.
On Wednesday, Mr Sesay's barrister David Temkin KC told jurors that his client would not be giving evidence at the trial. Then the 17-year-old became the third defendant to take to the witness box to give evidence before jurors. The teenager said he wasn't aware of the robbery of Mr Sesay, and picked up the other defendants in his car. He sent Mr Hackland a message that morning which read 'wys', or 'what you saying', the jury heard.
The 16-year-old defendant and Ludford got out and attacked Mr Hackland, jurors have heard. The 17-year-old defendant told jurors that he didn't hear anyone say 'chef him', and didn't witness Mr Hackland being stabbed. Mr McLachlan showed jurors a computer generated image of the stab wounds suffered by Mr Hackland. "What do you think when you see that?," the KC asked.
Ludford has admitted manslaughter but denies murder. He denied saying 'chef him', and said he didn't know who made the comment, which was captured on footage.
