A teenager accused of murdering 13-year-old Jahziah Coke has claimed the alleged victim picked up a knife and threatened him before a row over “missing cannabis” led to a non-deliberate chest injury.
The youth, who cannot be identified because of his age, told jurors he was left “hurt and traumatised” after grabbing Jahziah’s hands – twisting the knife towards the floor – and then seeing blood.
