A teenager on trial denies charges of murder and manslaughter after a court hears the accused searched online about the consequences of killing shortly before a girl was fatally stabbed. According to reporting, prosecutors say the defendant made the Google query “what happens if you kill” within minutes of the stabbing. The search is presented as part of the evidence considered by the court.
The teenager maintains that they did not commit the offence charged and disputes the prosecution’s account. The case is being heard in court, where details of the timing of the online search and the circumstances surrounding the stabbing are discussed. Further evidence and arguments from both the prosecution and the defence are expected to be considered as the trial proceeds.
The reports do not indicate the girl’s identity or provide additional context about motive, the relationship between the parties, or the events leading up to the stabbing beyond the allegation that the defendant searched the phrase minutes beforehand.
