A boy accused of the murder of schoolgirl Ava White in Liverpool city centre showed a ‘callous disregard’ for her, a court was told today.
The accused, a 14-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murder. The teenager, who the ECHO is referring to as Boy A, admits being responsible for stabbing Ava, 12, on November 25, 2021, but claims he was acting in self-defence.
Boy A said he stabbed Ava accidentally after a row broke out regarding a Snapchat video. Liverpool Crown Court has heard Ava and her friends argued with Boy A and his group - Boys B to D - about them filming her on the social media platform.
