A teenager who chased a 16-year-old boy while armed with a knife just wanted to 'scare' him., a court heard. The 17-year-old defendant, who can't be named for legal reasons, claimed he and others had followed 16-year-old Rhamero West after seeing him drive at a drug dealer 'as if he was going to run him over'.
Shortly after a high speed chase involving three stolen BMWs, Mr West was stabbed to death on Norton Street in Old Trafford. "I weren't happy about what I had just seen, I wanted to speak to him about it," the defendant told jurors at Manchester Crown Court.
Prosecutors allege that 19-year-old Ryan Cashin took a knife from the 17-year-old and then stabbed Mr West with it. Two other men, Giovanni Lawrence, 20, Xavaiour Wynter, 18, are also on trial.
All four defendants deny murder.
