Court hears of text messages between witness, victim in the minutes leading up to the stabbing
A Crown witness in a Surrey murder trial testified Tuesday that a girl who was with the young man accused of stabbing a 17-year-old boy to death on a Surrey bus in 2023 knew the victim and would"try to egg him on" whenever they crossed paths.
The victim was stabbed in the chest while riding on a Route 503 bus in the 9900-block of King George Boulevard on April 11, 2023 and died in hospital that night. Schultes imposed publication bans on information that would identify the teen and two Crown witnesses and also ordered a temporary publication ban on the identity of a fourth person.
The witness said he was aware of rumours that the victim was a pedophile but told the court there was no truth to it and that he doesn't know who started them.
