'Gorgeous boy' | |
Kiyan was described by a teacher as a "gorgeous boy...very popular and well-liked", said prosecutor Nicholas Hilliard, on the first day of the trial. | |
"The allegation is that this defendant murdered a 15-year-old boy by stabbing him in the heart with a knife," said Mr Hilliard. | |
"It is not in dispute that the defendant did that but his case is that it is not murder." | |
He said the accused had been banned from his school at the time of Kiyan's death. | |
"There is no evidence of any bad feeling between the two of them," said Mr Hilliard. | |
Kiyan's parents, Mark Prince and Tracey Cumberbatch, attended the court hearing. | |
The trial continues. |
