A friend of Ava White has denied the schoolgirl threatened the boy accused of killing her after a jury heard she said she could “batter him”.
Ava died after she was stabbed in School Lane in Liverpool city centre. Boy A accepts responsibility for her fatal injury, but says he acted in self-defence.
The teen, from South Liverpool, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murder and manslaughter. Today a trial at Liverpool Crown Court heard evidence from Girl E, who was in the city centre with Ava around the time of the incident, on the evening of November 25, 2021.
