Teen denies plotting fatal Gloucester knife attack
By Steve Knibbs and Tess de la MareA 17-year-old accused of knifing a rival claims messages to his co-defendants appearing to plan the attack were just friends "talking rubbish".The teenager denies plotting fatal knife attack.
The jury has previously heard two groups were involved in a clash on the night of the stabbing, which was sparked by a fight outside a McDonald's restaurant eight days earlier.On the first day of the defence case, one of the 17-year-old defendants said social media messages bragging about wanting to stab one of Ramarni's friends were just bravado.
The defendant was shown a photo of himself pulling up his top and showing what looked like a knife tucked into his clothing."I carried my own knife in case someone pulled out a knife on me," the 17-year-old said. The 17-year-old said he had arranged to meet up with his co-defendants, and had left the house carrying a knife, but "didn't want any drama".The defendant claimed they were "literally just walking around" and were not looking for Ramarni's group.The 17-year-old denied being involved in the fight when the two groups met on Stratton Road."I take a few seconds to run, I'm the slowest person in our group," he added.
