A schoolgirl told a jury how she saw three teenagers attack Kellon Hill on the night of his murder, with a knife, crash helmet and cane.

The girl, who The Royal Gazette is not naming because of her age, stood just feet away from the teens in Supreme Court yesterday, as she described the violence she witnessed on the night of the killing.

Mr. Hill, 18, is alleged by prosecutors to have been set upon by five teenagers as he left a party at Elbow Beach last August 9. He died of a stab wound to the heart.

Besides murder, each is accused of possessing a different weapon. Kellan Jeaurreau Lewis, 17, is alleged to have had a knife. Kevin Andre Warner, 19, a wooden cane.

Gary Rupert Hollis, 16, and Devon Vonzell Hairston, 18, allegedly wielded crash helmets while 17-year-old Zharrin Frankie Simmons the only girl charged is alleged to have had a screwdriver. They deny the charges.

Opening the trial last week, Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Michael McColm alleged that Lewis and Hollis approached Mr. Hill and snatched a gold chain from around his neck. Mr. Hill demanded it back but the pair refused, and a fight ensued. The prosecutor claimed the other three accused then joined the attack from nearby.

The five are alleged to have used the various weapons listed in the charges against the teenage victim.

Giving evidence yesterday, the 15-year-old said she knew the girl hosting the beach party that night and so headed to the event on the bus with two of her friends.

She explained that she saw Hairston on the same bus with his friends Lewis plus "Gary" and "Zharrin", whose surnames she did not know.

Giving evidence so quietly that Judge Charles-Etta Simmons repeatedly told her to speak up, she described seeing Lewis with a knife in the waistband of his pants as they waited at the bus stop.

She said the group also had a bottle of Cockspur rum with them.

She estimated there were 20 people at the beach party when they arrived. Later, she and her girlfriends left, with the five now accused of murder walking up the hill away from the beach ahead of them.

She saw Mr. Hill on the road, sitting on his bike, and described seeing Hollis talking to him before grabbing his neck chain. Mr. Hill pushed his hand away and she alleged that Hollis swung at him with a black crash helmet, hitting him in the head.

The witness estimated she was five or ten feet away at the time, with a street lamp making it bright enough to see. She told the jury Mr. Hill fell off his bike onto the ground after he was hit in the head, then got back up and a fight began.

"Everybody was just hitting everyone," she told the court. She could not recall seeing Hollis, Lewis or Simmons in the fight, but remembered seeing Mr. Hill swinging his fists. She said that Hairston was talking to a girl called Shayna as the fight took place.

"What else did you see in this fight?" inquired prosecutor Mr. McColm. "Did you see anything happen to Mr. Kellon Hill?"

After a long pause, she replied: "He got stabbed ... I saw Kellan Lewis was stabbing him."

The girl described seeing Lewis stabbing "a lot of times" with the same black-handled knife she'd first seen at the bus stop. She told the court she could not see Hairston, Hollis or Simmons during this, but saw Hollis running down to the beach afterwards.

The schoolgirl went on to tell how Mr. Hill was holding his stomach and leaning on a wall when Warner, who she then only knew as "Kevin", hit him on the head with a cane. She described Warner as short and chubby, and said saw him and Hairston head towards the beach afterwards.

She did not recall where Simmons who was "dressed like a boy" went.

Mr. Hill, she said, got up and tried to hold onto a wall, but fell again and hit his head.

The girl continued: "Everybody went over to him, everybody was standing around him. [A friend of mine] took her shirt off and lifted up Kellon Hill's shirt and that's when we noticed that he had holes in his stomach... then she put her shirt on his stomach. She put pressure on his stomach."

An ambulance and the Police came, and the girl spoke with the Police. She then caught a cab to BAA with her friends. She is due to be cross-examined by defence lawyers today.
