Mpho Obi, 22, told jurors at Wolverhampton Crown Court it was a knife fight in which he, his co-accused Omari Lauder, Terrell and others in the notorious drug den could all have been killed.

There were knives, machetes, claw hammers and other weapons strewn around the flat and a bike was even used as a weapon at one stage during the fight on September 18, last year, around 4.30pm.

Obi claimed 16-year-old Terrell immediately attacked Omari Lauder when they entered the Warnford Walk flat in Merry Hill.

He said: "He was attacking my friend who was on the floor. And then at one point his attention was on me, when he rushed me I threw the bike at him. But then he went straight back to Omari, who was on the floor. I can see his body on the floor.
