A 14-year-old boy shouted “I’m going to wet you” before stabbing another teenage boy in the chest and later seemed happy that he had done it, a jury has heard.

The victim was 14-year-old Tomasz Oleszak, a boy unknown to his killer. The term “wet you” was slang for “stab you”, prosecutor Mark McKone KC told Newcastle crown court.
