An ACT Supreme Court jury has heard an 18-year-old man who died in a fight at the Weston Creek Skate Park in 2020 was stabbed six times, and that two of the wounds were about 12 centimetres deep.The jury heard there will be evidence about how the fight involved approximately 12 people
A boy, who was 15 at the time, has gone on trial for murder over the man's death and has pleaded not guilty.All three males were involved in a fight, involving about 12 people, that was sparked after two of those present had a disagreement on Snapchat.Prosecutor Rebecca Christensen told the court no-one saw the alleged murder, meaning the case would rely on circumstantial evidence, putting the accused boy at the scene, with a knife and the opportunity to carry out the stabbing.
She said she would show the people involved in the initial attack then retreated to their car, retrieving garden tools, which they used to smash up the victim's car. That included a remark he is alleged to have made in the car to another person as they were driving away.Ms Christensen said some of the witnesses reported seeing a knife tucked into the waistline of the boy's pants.
