The schoolboy who murdered Ava White in Liverpool City Centre told a mountain of lies to cover his tracks.
Ava was knifed in the neck in on Church Alley in Liverpool city centre on November 25, 2021 after an argument about him filming her on Snapchat. Her killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was jailed for a life sentence with a minimum of 13 years.
During the 12-day trial at Liverpool Crown Court, the jury heard how the 14-year-old killer, only known as Boy A, told a number of lies to try and cover his tracks. Prosecuting barrister Ms Charlotte Newell, said Boy A originally told police he was not in the city centre on the evening of Ava’s death and was at a friend’s house playing Call Of Duty on a PlayStation 4.
