Both defendants have denied murdering Shawn Seesahai on 13 November year - blaming each other for stabbing the 19-year-old.

One of two 12-year-olds accused of a machete murder has told a jury he saw his co-defendant kill the victim during an attack lasting up to five minutes. The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he was 'nowhere near' as 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai was stabbed by his friend, whose identity is also protected. The boys are alleged to have murdered Mr Seesahai, who was stabbed through the heart and suffered a skull fracture.

Answering questions from Paul Lewis KC, defending, the boy said his friend was put in a headlock and had asked for help while trying to make sure Mr Seesahai could not grab the knife. He told the court: 'I pushed Shawn off . He grabbed on to me. We both fell to the floor. 'I fell on the concrete. Shawn fell on the grass.
