A teenager accused of the murder of a student in Bury has told a court he feared he was "done for" just moments before the stabbing took place.
Abdikarim Abdalla Ahmed, 18, tragically died after being knifed to the chest by a combat knife with 'severe' force outside the entrance to the Mill Gate shopping centre in Bury on March 11.
