A teenager stabbed a 15-year-old boy 11 times and also went on to knife his girlfriend in the chest, a trial has heard.

The youth, who is also aged 15 and cannot be named due to legal reasons, was said to have carried out the 'premeditated' attack in retaliation for an earlier incident, which saw his friend suffer a head injury after being struck with a metal pole.

This was described as the 'catalyst' for the defendant then stashing a knife in his waistband before approaching the other boy at a bus stop outside a convenience store and delivering repeated blows with the weapon, as well as stabbing a 14-year-old girl when she tried to intervene.
