The moment a teenager was allegedly beaten to death by a group of eight men inside a mobile phone shop was described as looking like a "mosh pit" by a witness.
Michael Toohey, 18, was cornered in the Mobiles Junction shop on Monument Place, off London Road in the city centre, at around 5.46pm on Saturday, April 16 this year. Eight men and a 14-year-old boy, who allegedly alerted the others to Mr Toohey's location, are standing trial charged with his murder at Liverpool Crown Court.
Today the jury heard from a friend of Mr Toohey's, a young woman who cannot be named for legal reasons and who will be referred to as 'Woman A' by the ECHO. Gordon Cole, KC, prosecuting, played a video recording of Woman A's police interviews to the jury where she described the incident to detectives from Merseyside Police.
