Another teenage witness in the Kellon Hill murder trial has contradicted her evidence under cross-examination by the defence.

The 16-year-old schoolgirl told the jury she saw Kellan Lewis stab Mr. Hill with a knife, but later admitted to defence lawyer John Perry QC the assailant was wearing a white shirt.

Lewis, 18, was wearing a yellow shirt on the night of Mr. Hill's death, on August 9, 2008.

He denies murder and being in possession of a knife.

Mr. Hill, 18, died from a stab wound to the heart after trying to retrieve a gold chain which Lewis allegedly snatched from around his neck.

The ensuing fight is said to have involved four other teenagers, one of whom it is alleged, also stabbed Mr. Hill with a screwdriver. A post-mortem however, revealed the fatal wound was caused by a knife.

The alleged murder took place at a back-to-school party for 14-year-old Crenisha Joyiens at Elbow Beach.

Lewis travelled there by bus from White Hill, Somerset, with Gary Hollis, 16, Zharrin Simmons, a 17-year-old girl, and Devon Hairston, 18.

They were joined by Kevin Warner, 19, whom the prosecution claims was carrying a cane.

The fatal fight took place on Tribe Road 4B, the public access road to the beach, as Mr. Hill was about to leave at 11 p.m.

The 16-year-old who yesterday gave evidence said she travelled to the party on the same bus as Lewis and his friends. As they waited at the bus stop oin White Hill, she saw Lewis had a black-handled knife tucked into his trousers.

"His shirt came out a little bit and he had a knife in his waistband. I saw the handle and a little bit of the blade," she said.

At the party she said Mr. Hollis hit Mr. Hill in the head with a motorcycle helmet. When the teenager hit him back, Miss Simmons and Lewis then joined in the fighting.

"Zharrin and Kellan were hitting Kellon Hill with their hands at first, and then I can't remember where Zharrin and Gary went afterwards," she said.

"I saw Kellan Lewis, he went at Kellon Hill and he stabbed him in his stomach area."

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said Lewis stabbed Hill "more than once" with a knife. He then ran off with Mr. Hollis and Miss Simmons.

Mr. Hill meanwhile, fell to the ground on his back and started "shaking". He was wounded and bleeding on the right side of his stomach.

Under cross-examination by Mr. Perry however, the girl admitted it may not have been Lewis who inflicted the stab wound.

"You did not see Kellan Lewis stab Kellon Hill, that's the truth isn't it?," said Mr. Perry.

He read out an earlier statement in which the schoolgirl had said the person who stabbed Mr. Hill wore a white shirt.

Mr. Perry added that in her Police statement, made three days after the stabbing, she had "never made one word about seeing Kellan Lewis with a knife at the bus stop".

"No," she admitted.

The defence lawyer told the court the girl only mentioned this to the Police nine months later.

He added: "Zharrin was wearing a white shirt wasn't she? And the person you say you saw doing the stabbing was wearing a white shirt."

"Yes," she replied.

Mr. Perry told her: "You have heard snippets outside and have come here to court to give evidence about things you didn't see.

"Isn't it true you were not sure who Kellon Hill was fighting?"

"I can't remember," she replied.

The court also heard evidence from a 17-year-old girl at the party. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she saw Mr. Hollis hit Mr. Hill with a motorcycle helmet "more than once".

Detective Constable Kenten Trott of the Bermuda Police Service then described the scene as Mr. Hill lay dying.

He was among the first Police officers to arrive at the scene at 11 p.m..

"There was a vast multitude of young people exiting the area. As we drove down towards the beach area, halfway down the Tribe Road, we saw an individual lying on the side of the road who was being cradled by a young female. She was holding him on her lap," he said.

One of the officers jumped out of the patrol car and commenced CPR.

Det. Con. Trott said: "At the time he was unresponsive and lying down on his back. There was a red stain on his shirt which I assumed to be blood. It was in his abdomen area.

"I also recall one of his shoes was off and I recall seeing a broken cane.

"I also saw a trail of blood from his body down to the cane, and it continued in a zigzag down towards the beach."

The trial continues.
