Police have released CCTV footage showing Alfie Lewis walking down the street just moments before he was murdered.
A murder investigation was launched and the kitchen knife, which was matched to a set of knives at the boy’s home, was forensically examined and blood matching Alfie’s DNA was found on it. The youth said he was threatened by Alfie and feared for his life as a result of these incidents. He denied murder and claimed that he had acted in self-defence. But the jury discounted his claims and convicted him of murder.
“We would like to thank all those involved, in court and behind the scenes, in ensuring this trial went ahead. We would like to thank the jury for reaching what, to us, appears a sensible and obvious conclusion, that Alfie did not pose a threat to anyone around him, and his death was senseless.
