That was in January 1996 a...

Joshua Harling A teenager has described the horrifying events which led to the driver of a car in which he was travelling being’ stabbed’ and killed.

The boy’s recorded statement was played to Oxford Crown Court today.

He said that he had ‘vaguely’ noticed a group of five teenagers in hoodies walking around the corner near to where he was waiting for Mr Harling – who said he was by the ‘Lower School’ and was about 15-minutes away. But when Mr Harling arrived and spotted t...

His contribution, a package of Hot Wheels, felt right since he used to play with the miniature car replicas himself. This marks the third annual toy drive Patel has participated in, and now, more than eve...
