    A 17-year-old boy who moved from London to Yorkshire for a “safer life” was “hacked to death” by two teenagers who were “under the influence of nitrous oxide”, a court has heard.

    Harley Brown was killed in a “sustained and brutal” knife attack after a chance encounter with two youths he knew outside a 24-hour convenience store in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
