One of two 12-year-old boys accused of murdering a man with a machete had blood on his hand after the stabbing, a child witness has told a court.

The teenage girl also claimed the same boy was put in a headlock by 19-year-old Shawn Seesahai, who died from a 23cm-deep wound which almost went the whole way through his body.

The defendants, whose identities are protected by a court order, are on, after denying the charge and blaming each other for the death of Mr Seesahai.
