A 17-year-old is accused of killing 16-year-old Harry Pitman on Primrose Hill on New Year's Eve.
A teenager who was stabbed in the neck at a New Year's Eve gathering in Primrose Hill died in "the blink of an eye", the Old Bailey has heard.
Opening the trial, prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward KC said: "Every year, large numbers of members of the public gather on Primrose Hill to celebrate the turning of the new year."Harry Pitman, aged 16, was stabbed once, to the neck. He died almost immediately, as a result of that single but deadly injury - a single but deadly injury caused by a knife, brought to the scene by the defendant.
Harry seemed excitable and "physically bounced" up to him but was "overall positive in his attitude towards police", the court was told.
