Brother recalls bakery killing | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
A brother of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen who was killed in a south London bakery has recalled the fatal attack. | |
The 16-year-old bled to death when he was hit by a glass dish which severed vessels in his neck. | |
Harry Mizen, 19, told the Old Bailey Jake Fahri, hurled the dish at his brother when a row broke out inside the bakery near their home in Lee. | |
Mr Fahri, 19, from Milborough Crescent, Lee, denies murder claiming he acted in self defence. | |
'Lots of blood' | |
Mr Mizen told Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, that Mr Fahri had initially thrown an advertising sign at the two brothers while inside the shop. | Mr Mizen told Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, that Mr Fahri had initially thrown an advertising sign at the two brothers while inside the shop. |
He said the sign missed the two of them so Mr Fahri then picked up a glass oven dish from the hot food counter of the bakery. | |
Describing the scene, Mr Mizen said: "I turned round and saw blood. There was lots of blood." | |
He said Mr Fahri had targeted him twice before the fatal attack. | |
In 2001, when he was a Year Seven student, Mr Fahri had punched him in the stomach after demanding money from him on his way home, he said. | |
His mother contacted the school after the incident. | |
He then alleged Mr Fahri approached him and attacked him in another incident two years later. | |
Mr Mizen said: "Again I was coming home from school, he approached me and was basically saying that I had grassed on him to my mum who had told my school." | |
Jake became very aggressive, he stood in front of Jimmy right in front of his face Harry Mizen | |
Mr Mizen described his brother Jimmy as an "outgoing normal 16-year-old, we were very close". | |
He said that on the day of his brother's death, the pair had gone into the Three Cooks Bakery to buy sausage rolls. | |
Mr Fahri was already in the shop and told Jimmy Mizen to "get out of the way". An argument then took place. | |
He said: "Jake became very aggressive, he stood in front of Jimmy right in front of his face." | |
Mr Mizen then rang his older brother Tommy asking him for help, and Mr Fahri asked him who he had been calling. | |
He then started throwing things - including an advertising sign - at the brothers. | |
Mr Mizen then said the defendant picked up a glass dish and launched it at his brother. | |
