Jury shown bodycam footage of stabbing aftermath which was 'catalyst for Bailey Atkinson killing'
A jury trying nine teenagers for murder has been shown police bodycam footage from the aftermath of a previous stabbing alleged to be the catalyst for the fatal attack.
The teenagers are charged with the murder of 20-year-old Bailey Atkinson, who sustained almost 100 injuries when he was attacked with knives and machetes in Walsall town centre around 1.20am on January 28, last year.
Nottingham Crown Court was told the teenagers armed themselves with machetes and knives when they tracked Mr Atkinson down, driving around the town centre in two cars, one of which was stolen, in convoy.
The motivation for the killing is believed to be the stabbing of the brother of one defendant, Ronan McCulloch, two months earlier in November 2022.
The bodycam footage seen by the jury showed the youngster falling in and out of consciousness in the back of a car outside Bloxwich Police Station.
