Bristol teenager ‘stabbed’ boy but ‘didn’t mean to kill him’

Asked by Michael Burrows KC, prosecuting, if he heard anything when he stabbed Darrian, he said: “I heard his coat rip.”

He told the jury that Darrian, who he said did not appear to be injured, then ran away and the defendants chased him “for five seconds.”

They then spoke to two friends Darrian had been with and who asked who the accused were.

The boy responded, “One of the two said, ‘Are you 6 years old or 2 years old?’ I said, ‘Do I look like I’m 6 years old?'”

The 1-6, also known as 16 or 6, which is associated with the Fishponds, Hillfields and Oldbury Court areas. The 2-4, or 2, is linked to the St Pauls and St Judes areas of Bristol.

Burrows previously described the incident as “some sort of gang attack.”

The defendant later went to a house and left the knife under the bed, the jury was told.

He then booked and canceled several taxis, before taking an Uber to a destination where he could buy an electric scooter, the jury heard.

The defendant said he “felt concerned” after seeing photos of Darrian’s face on Snapchat that included a Dove emoji.
