Girl, 14, admits killing sister | Girl, 14, admits killing sister |
(about 3 hours later) | |
A 14-year-old schoolgirl stabbed her 16-year-old sister in the back with a carving knife after a row about a boyfriend, a court has heard. | |
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to manslaughter at Bradford Crown Court. She denies murder. | |
Her sister was found with serious injuries at a house in Halifax, West Yorks, in March and died in hospital. | |
The mother told the court the girls started arguing before the stabbing. | |
Physical fight | |
The court heard that the defendant told her sister that her boyfriend "wouldn't amount to much, only working in Morrisons". | |
At this point, the argument escalated into a physical fight, with the older sister grabbing the younger girl by the hair. | |
The defendant then went into the kitchen and ran back into the living room with a 20cm carving knife. | |
She ran passed her mother and shouted at her sister "you're going to get it". | |
The mother told the court: "They were struggling. I couldn't see where the knife was. I just saw blood spraying up on the wall." |
