The boy alleged to have murdered Ava White yelled “get out my face, lad” at her moments before she was stabbed, a court heard.
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, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murder and manslaughter. A trial at Liverpool Crown Court has been hearing evidence from friends who were with her around the time of the incident on November 25, 2021. Today, jurors heard from Girl F, one of a number of friends with Ava that night.
