JURORS in an Old Bailey murder trial watched shocking CCTV footage of a teenage boy dying in Ilford Town Centre.
Cameras picked out 19-year-old Nabeer Bakurally as panicked passers-by came to his aid at the junction of High Road and Clements Road, at around 2.30am on Saturday, November 8.
He had been stabbed ten times just seconds earlier after being attacked by a gang of Asian men.
The court heard friends Kalam Kazi, 23, and Pradip Mistry, 22, punched and kicked the teenager, to the floor before Abdul Siddique, 25, stabbed him repeatedly with a large kitchen knife.
The court heard Siddique had sent a text message to Kazi in a 'call to arms' after an initial confrontation with Nabeer, from Forest Gate, and his friend.
Siddique, from Ilford, has admitted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. He will be sentenced at a later date.
Mistry and Kazi, also from Ilford, deny the charges.
