Boy, 15, admits murdering Khayri Mclean after teen stabbed to death outside of school in ‘planned attack’
A BOY, 15, has pleaded guilty to the murder of Khayri Mclean after he launched a "planned attack" last year.
The teenager, who can't be named for legal reason, stabbed Khayri outside a school in Huddersfield in September.
Appearing at Leeds Crown Court today, he pleaded guilty.
His co-defendant, 17, denied murder and is expected to stand trial.
The court was told the 17-year-old took part in the attack on Khayri and had a knife on him.
Khayri was rushed to hospital but sadly died from his injuries.
Prosecuting, Jonathan Sandiford and George Hazel-Owram told the court the fatal attack was "not spontaneous but planned".
The court heard: "Although this defendant did not strike the fatal blow, the Crown says he is guilty of murder because he and [the 15-year-old] acted together to attack Khayri Mclean with knives and their intention in doing so must have been to kill him or at least to cause him GBH - which is sufficient for murder."
