Ava White begged a friend “please don’t leave me” as she lay injured on the floor after being stabbed, a court heard.
Ava died after she was stabbed by a 14-year-old boy in School Lane in Liverpool city centre. Boy A accepts responsibility for her fatal injury, but says he acted in self-defence.
The teen, from South Liverpool, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murder and manslaughter. A trial at Liverpool Crown Court has been hearing the last set of evidence from friends who were with her around the time of the incident on November 25, 2021.
