A TEENAGE girl broke down in tears as she told a court of the moment she saw stab victim Dele Little collapsed on the floor.

Jurors watched as the 15-year-old began to sob as she recalled how she saw the boy on the floor surrounded by his friends.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was giving evidence this morning by video link at Winchester Crown Court in the trial of Aaron Roche, accused of murdering 15-year-old Dele in February this year.

The girl said she had been with her friends in "the bullring" by the West Totton Centre on the night of Saturday, February 3 when Dele and his mates got into an argument with two girls.

She told the court "It was verbal for quite a while but then it got a bit physical" adding that the argument continued for about three minutes.

She said: "The girl (Kayleigh Shinn) started to get really angry and she walked off to get a plank of wood. She was warning him not to say anything else or touch her because she would hit him with it and he said don't me silly. You're not going to do that.'"

"She went to sling the plank of wood to hit Dele and Dele reached out and slung the wood and she hit the floor.

"She was crying and she said you are not going to get away with this, how could you chuck me on the floor?'"

The court was told that Dele's friend took the piece of wood and threw it away while a girl got her phone out and made a call.

"I just remember that there was a bit more arguing. She (Kayleigh) was getting really angry with Dele. He was just taking the mickey saying don't be stupid what are you going on about.'"

The girl told the court how she remained sat down when a man came along who looked "really, really angry". Recalling what happened next she said: "He said why have you opened your mouth for? Point him out to me now.' "He was just shouting and just shaking a lot and just looking really angry."

Jurors heard how the girl then remembered seeing people running out of the community centre and into the car park.

She said: "We followed around to see what was going on. We walked around to outside the dentist and we just saw lots of people crowding around.

"A few were rushing around and a few were in a circle looking down at something."

Judge Guy Boney then ordered the court to adjourn briefly as the girl began crying. When the court resumed the girl told prosecuting barrister Christopher Parker QC that it was Dele on the ground.

Asked by defence barrister Tim Mousley QC what else was happening at the scene she said there was "lots of talking going on" and that people were using their mobile phones to make calls.

Aaron Roche, 21, of Ringwood Road, Lyndhurst, denies murder.

The case continues.
