A 12-year-old boy accused of stabbing a teenager to death with a machete told jurors his alleged victim put him in a headlock and was then stabbed by his co-accused of the same age.

The boy then described being given a lift home by his grandmother following the attack on Shawn Seesahai in a Wolverhampton park.

Mr Seesahai, 19, had flown to Britain from a Caribbean island for medical treatment on his eyes but in November last year was stamped on, beaten and stabbed in an unprovoked attack.

Two 12-year-old boys are standing trial for murder and are blaming each other for the death of Mr Seesahai, who was from the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla.
