Ava White screamed “I’ve been stabbed” to her horrified friend before collapsing on the street in Liverpool city centre, a court heard.
Ava died after she was stabbed by a 14-year-old boy 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.
This morning, a trial at Liverpool Crown Court heard evidence from Boy J, who was one of a number of kids who was with Ava in the hours before she died, about what happened on November 25, 2021. The jury has previously heard how the friends were in town and been drinking vodka and messing about near St John’s Shopping Centre.
