Two girls are on trial for the murder of Kenneth Lee, a 59-year-old homeless man who died after being beaten and stabbed in a Toronto parkette. Surveillance footage shows the girls and a larger group of teens engaged in several confrontations and altercations at a shopping mall, on a bus, and at two subway stations prior to the attack.
TORONTO — A group of teens was involved in several scuffles and confrontations as they made their way downtown in the hours leading up to the alleged swarming and stabbing of a homeless Toronto man, court heard Wednesday at the trial of two girls accused in his death.
At various points, two of the other girls in the group are seen holding a knife while at Yorkdale subway station, the lead detective testified Wednesday. The youngest of the girls on trial, who was 14 at the time, seems to argue with the men and take a swing at one of them on the stairs to the lower platforms, he said. The other accused girl, then 16, is holding a bottle of whisky and seems to get in a confrontation with a man in a blue jacket before someone pulls her away.
Prosecutors allege that girl is the one who fatally wounded Lee, but they have yet to say when or with what.
