Another friend has spoken about two males who came into the park and sat near the group, Mr Smith has told the court.

Reading out the witness statement, Mr Smith said: "I was looking at the ground I suddenly heard 'she's been stabbed', Eddie was talking about Jodie.

"I saw two males running away from the benches we were sitting at.

"I did not notice these males come into the park. The two males both had their hoods up. I tried to help Jodie but didn't know what to do to help her

"Eddie was holding her. I tried to find a pulse and found a feint one. I did not see the incident happen.

"Bryce tried to call an ambulance, I had a first aid app I wanted to get into.

"Another friend was freaking out.

"I tried to put pressure on the wound which was on Jodie's back.

"A lady came across the street, asking if it was a joke and I said it wasn't.

"I could see the blood on Jodie's back where she had been stabbed.

"Bryce and I went to the road to flag down the police - they arrived first. Bryce was trying to comfort Eddie.

"The attack was completely unprovoked - we didn't talk to anyone else while we were in the park."

Joel Smith has finished his questioning of the 17-year-old girl.

None of the defence barristers have any questions as part of cross-examination and the girl has now been told she can leave the court.

Mr Smith is now reading a witness statement from another teenager - who also cannot be named for legal reasons.

The two men ran off "jumping over the fence", the teenage girl has just told jurors.

"All I could see were coats," the 17-year-old added. "The coats you wear when they are cold. The thick ones.

"I saw them run and then my focus was on Jodie.

"I phoned the ambulance myself. We kept shouting for help, hoping someone would come out."

Mr Smith asked the girl how was Jodie doing.

"Not great," the girl replied. "She fell into Eddie and he had to catch her.

"He tried to keep her awake because her eyes were gone.

Before finishing her evidence, the girl said she was not aware of Jodie "having any enemies".

After sharing a joint of cannabis between the group of friends, the girl has told jurors about what happened once they realised Jodie had been stabbed in the back.

"I saw another friend shiver as if she had been scared," the girl said.

"I saw Jodie turn round slightly and then she started to scream.

"She screamed loudly - very loudly. Eddie shouted that she had been stabbed. So I said someone needs to call an ambulance. Because I thought Kasey was going to call one I shone the torch on Jodie's back.

"I saw a hole and you could clearly see she had been stabbed. The jacket she was wearing had fluff and there was blood."

As the girl describes this moment, she begins to wipe away some tears.

Judge Wendy Joseph reassures the girl to take her evidence "step by step".

"The hole was about 2-3cm," she then tells jurors.

After taking the oath, the 17-year-old has taken a seat and is now facing questions from Joel Smith.

He begins by asking the teenager about the moments leading up to Jodie being stabbed in the park.

"I arrived from [the direction of] St Neot's Road," she tells the court.

"It was fairly dark. I could not see the park because it was not lit up.

"So I used the torch from my phone to see where I was going."

The girl says she was aware of two males sitting in the park.

"They were sitting and facing the bench in silence.

"They were facing down, as if they had a phone but there was no light coming from the phone."

A Section 45 order is a legal order made by a judge which bans publication of the identity of any witness, victim or defendant aged under 18 who appears at a magistrates court or a crown court.

The ban includes reporting the young person's name, address, school, college or place of work - and any details that are likely to identify the person.

Photographs of the individual are banned as well.

The rule relates to all reports of the case on radio, television, newspapers, magazines, online and social media.

The ban applies during the duration of the trial and all other related criminal proceedings, and until the person turns 18.

Witnesses and victims may apply for lifelong anonymity, so they can't be named even after they've turned 18.

A judge may decide to lift the restrictions on a young person who's been convicted but this only happens in exceptional circumstances.

It's a crime to breach a Section 45 order and can result in a prison sentence.

The 12 jurors have returned, the defendants are sat in the dock, Judge Wendy Joseph QC is sat in her seat and the trial is about to continue.

The next witness is a 17-year-old girl who cannot be named for legal reasons.

The jury has now been given a mid-morning break while the court is in between witnesses.

Facing a few questions from Mr Sherrard, Mr Henderson has said that everything happened "very fast".

"It must have happened in almost pitch black," Mr Sherrard asks.

The 18-year-old replies: "Yes, but not completely". He then goes onto admit to jurors that everything happened "compeltely unexpectedly".

Natasha Wong QC, representing the other teenage boy, has stood up to ask a few questions of her own about Mr Henderson's statement.

Mr Henderson said he made the statement the following day, adding he "was still in shock".

He added: "It was a summary which I didn't think through properly at the time."

Ms Wong asks: "Are you saying you saw one person attack Jodie?"

"I saw a leaning motion," Mr Henderson replies. "But I didn't see a weapon.

"I didn't think it was an attack at the time. I thought they had grabbed a bag at the time.

"But I don't know if it was one person or two people."

Miss Wong has no further questions, and neither does Mr Smith.

Judge Wendy Joseph QC thanks Mr Henderson for giving his evidence adding that he is now "free to go".

It is illegal to take photographs in courtrooms or court buildings of anyone involved in the proceedings.

The law, which has been in place for almost 100 years, is still rigorously enforced.

The authorities believe cameras could act as a distraction in court, intimidate witnesses and deter people from giving evidence.

There has also a ban on making sketches in court, so artists have to draw from memory – making notes during hearings and completing their drawings away from the courtroom later.

Sarah Forshaw QC, representing Manuel Petrovic, has asked one question after Mr Smith finished his initial examination of Mr Henderson.

"Have you ever had drug dealings with anyone called 'Manny'," Miss Forshaw asks.

Mr Henderson replies: "I wouldn't know, as they don't use real names."

Miss Forshaw then asks Mr Petrovic to stand up in the dock and asks Mr Henderson if he recognises him.

The teenager says he doesn't.

Louise Sweet QC, representing one of the teenage defendants, has no further questions to ask.

However, Charlie Sherrard QC, representing Svenson-Ong-a-Kwie, says "he has a few".

The jury has already heard Jodie was stabbed in the back, but Mr Smith has asked Mr Henderson when he first became aware of Jodie's injuries.

"I believe Ed [Jodie's boyfriend] said something," the teenager replied.

"He turned and told us. I can't remember the exact words, but he was telling me she had been stabbed."

Mr Henderson told jurors he ran to a friend's house, who lived near to the park, in order to get help.

He added: "I was in shock. I didn't feel like I could go back [to the park].

"I was terrified. I was given a glass of water but I couldn't really hold it because my hands were shaking."

Mr Smith has asked Mr Henderson about what he recalls about the two men who came into the park and he says it was difficult to recall.

The 18-year-old said he saw "two figures run into the park" and was first "fully aware" of the two men when he heard "a noise and saw them running away".

"The noise sounded like a ripping of fabric," Mr Henderson said.

"I thought I heard a piece of metal or something, I wasn't sure. I thought it was my bag being taken and my strap being torn off," he told the court.

"I saw a leaning action. There was a moment when I moved round the table to look at the bench and saw that my bag was still there

"I was still confused, that's when the panic and hysteria happened between us. Jodie had screamed because of the pain.

"We were all confused by what was going on before we figured it out."

Mr Henderson has asked for a copy of the statement he gave to police to refresh his memory as to what he said at the time.

Joel Smith asked Mr Henderson if he could remember if the group was the only people initially in the park.

"There was four or five girls in a group," Mr Henderson replies.

"They were sat on the climbing frame which is inside the play area, but on the opposite side of the play area from where we were sitting."

The jury has been shown an aerial photograph (below) of the play area.

Mr Smith asks: "Do you recall two males coming into the park?"

"Yes," says Mr Henderson. "I remember them coming behind from where I was standing.

"We didn't say anything to them - and they didn't say anything to us."

Talking through what happened in the lead up to Jodie being stabbed, Mr Henderson has told the court the group "were going to pick up some cannabis and smoke it at the park".

"Bryce was going to call one of our dealers," Mr Henderson said. "He was going to deliver it at the park.

"I don't know when he did it, I just know it was when we were in the park.

"Jodie was sitting on the table next to Bryce."

Mr Henderson told jurors he "bumped into" Jodie, her boyfriend Eddie Coyle and a couple of other friends at Romford train station on 1 March.

He adds that he went with them on the bus towards Amy's Park in St Neot's Road, Harold Hill.

Prosecutor Joel Smith says there is some CCTV (pictured) of the group walking to the park.

"We did go there a lot for a while," Mr Henderson says.

He adds: "Me, Bryce and Eddie would always pretty much be there. Me and Eddie first started going over there from September last year.

"We would sit on the benches, drink, smoke and just chill out before we had to go home."

The prosecution has called 18-year-old Kasey Henderson, the twin brother of Bryce Henderson, as the first witness today.

The teenager has taken the oath and is now facing questions from Joel Smith - the junior barrister.

The 12 juros are now back in courtroom 8 and we are underway again here at the Old Bailey.

There are around 20 people in the public gallery.

Jodie's uncle, Terry Chesney, is sat at the back of the court listening to what happens today.

On Monday a panel of 18 jurors were selected and this was whittled down to 14 by the time the prosecution opened the case on Tuesday.

The 12 jurors - plus two 'spares' - heard details from prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC about the night Jodie Chesney was stabbed in the park in the Harold Hill area of Romford in east London.

The 17-year-old girl was caught up in a dispute between drug dealers, according to Mr Aylett who added there was "nothing to suggest that Jodie was involved in the supply of drugs or that she might have upset anyone".

On Wednesday the jury heard more details about the arrests of the four defendants - Manuel Petrovic, Svenson Ong-a-Kwie and two teenage boys who cannot be named for legal reasons.

On Thursday, Mr Aylett spoke about the night of Jodie's murder and said her friends had received a text from Mr-Ong-a-Kwie's "drug phone" advertising a new strain of cannabis known as "Pineapple Express".

Bryce Henderson, 18, would contact Mr Ong-a-Kwie to buy some of this cannabis to be delivered to 'Amy's Park', Mr Aylett said.

However, there was no answer from the "drugs line", and they decided to buy from another dealer.

On Friday, the jury heard evidence from Jodie's boyfriend Eddie Coyle who told the court he caught his girlfriend as she fell after being stabbed in the back.

The 18-year-old, who gave evidence from behind a screen, said the group of friends had just started smoking cannabis when Jodie was attacked.

"She was in shock at first. She did not know what had happened," he said.

"She started screaming continuously, very loud, about two minutes straight."
