Clues...

Harry Pitman, 16, died in front of revellers who had gathered to celebrate on December 31, 2023. He was allegedly attacked by Areece Lloyd-Hall, now 18, who had brought a knife with him to the scene.

Lots of photos of the victim, none of the alleged perpetrator, of course. But any clues to what we are dealing with here? 

As Lloyd-Hall approached Harry, he was allegedly holding his trousers and saying 'wot wot wot wot wot'. Amid the scuffle, Lloyd-Hall appeared to swing his right hand down on Harry's shoulder, the court was told.A knife glinted in the light and the sheaf (sic...it IS the 'Mail'!) flew off into the air, capturing the moment of the fatal stab wound.

Just before, a female voice was heard to shout 'mindi' - the Somali word for knife.

I’m getting a flavour here, for sure. And it seems this is a retrial. 

Police and paramedics administered first aid but the bleeding from Harry's neck wound was 'catastrophic and proved fatal', Ms Ledward said.

Lloyd-Hall, from Westminster, has denied murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter. Mr Justice Cavanagh told jurors in the retrial that Lloyd-Hall's defence would be that he thought the knife was covered by a sheath when he struck Harry and that he acted in self-defence or defence of others.

One to watch.
