A teenager was stabbed through the heart by a 14-year-old 'in full view' of primary school pupils and parents, a court has heard. Alfie Lewis, 15, was killed in the attack in Horsforth, Leeds, in November 2023. He was walking to meet friends when the defendant stabbed him with a 13cm kitchen knife, said prosecutor Craig Hassall KC. Witnesses said Alfie looked 'surprised and shocked' and asked the boy: 'What are you doing?', the trial was told.
Mr Hassall said a friend of the defendant - who walked away shortly before - said he heard Alfie say 'chill out', before seeing his friend stab Alfie twice. The boy, who denies murder, sat next to his father as the trial began on Monday. He cannot be named for legal reasons because of his age. 'Alfie protected girl from attacker' The court also heard about two previous incidents between Alfie and the boy.
