A girl described the moment she saw her friend Ava White screaming after being stabbed in the neck.
Ava, 12, was knifed on School Lane in Liverpool city centre last autumn. A 14-year-old boy, Boy A, who cannot be named for legal reasons, accepts stabbing her, but denies murder and manslaughter, saying he acted in self-defence.
A jury at Liverpool Crown Court today watched a recording of an interview detectives carried out with one of Ava's friends, aged 15, on November 26, the day after the fatal incident. Jurors were then played a video of the girl being cross-examined by Boy A's defence lawyers.
