A WITNESS says she was shaking after seeing a teenager bleeding from the neck after he was stabbed on a night out in Bradford, a trial has heard.

Six males are accused of killing Kian Tordoff, 19, in John Street on October 10 last year and attempting to murder Matthew Page – who is also known as Matthew Lowther.

The trial heard its first evidence during today’s afternoon session following the conclusion of the prosecution’s opening statement.

This came via a video interview with Reanna Dacres, who grew up with Mr Tordoff in Holme Wood, conducted with police on October 10 last year.

She said: "I went over and just saw Kian bleeding from his neck.

"I went over seen him (Mr Tordoff) on the floor, seen all the blood that was coming out of his neck, people trying to put pressure on it and he was trying to talk and say people's names and stuff and he couldn't talk.

“Matthew didn't know he'd been stabbed at first, he was stood up, he lifted up his top and it was all cut. I was so shook I walked over to the bus stop. I was shaking.

"I've just seen someone swing a knife towards Matthew, I didn't see anything happen to Kian, just saw him on the floor."

Ms Dacres says she saw Mr Tordoff in The Village nightclub in Sackville Street earlier in the night, adding she had known him for years after they grew up on the same street together in Holme Wood.

She added: "I seen Matthew get hit with one (a machete) but I didn't see whether it went through him or not.

"I was here, Matthew was right in the corner here. Actually he might have got stabbed closer, but he rested there, once he found out he got stabbed, I feel like it was a bit all over the place."
