A screaming gang of youths chased and stabbed a schoolboy to death, the Old Bailey has heard. Kodjo Yenga, 16, was ambushed by about a dozen youngsters armed with knives, bats and even a bull terrier, a jury was told. The teenager died from a single stab wound to the heart after being attacked in Hammersmith Grove, west London, in March last year.Six boys, aged between 14 and 17, deny his murder.
