A teenager has been found guilty of murdering a 15-year-old boy in a knife attack near a school.
Leeds Crown Court heard how Khayri Mclean, 15, was stabbed while making his way home from North Huddersfield Trust School (NHTS), in the West Yorkshire town, on September 21 last year. On Wednesday (March 22), a 17-year-old boy, who was 16 at the time, was found guilty of murdering Khayri.
A 15-year-old youth admitted murder at a previous hearing. During a week-long trial, prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC told jurors that Khayri was met by the two defendants who were waiting for him as he left the school on Woodhouse Hall Road with his friends. Mr Sandiford said they “charged” towards him aggressively and the 15-year-old stabbed Khayri in the chest with what proved to be a fatal blow, as it went through his ribs and penetrated one of his lungs and heart.
