Mr Aylett has closed his case and that's all for today.

The defence will begin its case on Friday at 10:30.

The knife found in the rucksack of the 16-year-old defendant was shown to judge and to the jury.

On Thursday 14 March, resident Brian Mtede noticed a rucksack in his back garden that he had not seen before, Mr Aylett said.

Mr Mtede opened the bag. Inside he could see a phone charger, some correspondence and a combat knife.

When the police examined the bag, they found some correspondence, including a letter from HMRC addressed to the 17-year-old defendant, the prosecutor added.

There is no suggestion the knife was used to stab Jodie.

The 17-year-old defendant has previous convictions of possessing a knife and also attacking a shop worker with a screwdriver, jurors have been told.

The agreed facts included:

• The clothing of Mr Petrovic and the clothing of the 17-year-old defendant were forensically examined. No traces of Jodie's blood was found.
• The knife recovered in Svenson Ong-a-Kwie's hostel bedroom was examined. No traces of blood was found and nothing suggests this is the knife that was used to stab Jodie.

The jury has returned.

Crisping Aylett QC will now read out the agreed facts - evidence accepted by both the prosecution and defence.

The jury is going on a short break.

The phone recording was then played out in court.

“Bro man’s good", the defendant continued.

"Man should walk for eight, do four.

"Pray for Man and that. Eight do four. It’s not even the judge, it’s the jury I got to convince.

"If not, not gonna lie, like a 20 innit.

"Man’s gonna keep saying in my head, ‘Do eight, do four,’ bruv, that’ll be the…I’ll be so happy if I got that.”

Hoping that he might be convicted of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm rather than murder and talking about himself, the defendant said: “But bruv man’s getting conspiracy to GBH, innit, trying to get eight [years], do four.

"Man’s just gonna get the conspiracy because that’s what happened really.

"Man ain’t gonna say no names or nothing. Man don’t know nothing, yeah.

"Man went there to do someone else, fam. Man didn’t do it, you hear me?”

A transcript of a phone call between the 16-year-old defendant and his friend on 13 July is now being read out in court.

"Did I discard my evidence? No. I would have burned my car, wouldn't I?" Mr Petrovic told his friend in prison.

When he was arrested, Mr Petrovic told his friend there were "35 police cars" outside his sister's house in Leicester.

"My sister was in tears," he said.

In the most serious crimes, where the evidence is complex and may take some time, it’s standard practice for defendants to be represented by two barristers.

The aim is to spread the workload, minimise mistakes, speed up proceedings and ensure that if one lawyer is unavailable the other one can step in.

In the most serious cases, a QC will be appointed to lead the prosecution or defence.

QC stands for ‘Queen’s Counsel’ and is an honour given to senior barristers who’ve served for a long time and demonstrated their experience by covering a range of cases.

A QC is also colloquially referred to as a ‘silk’.

Another prison transcript from 3 August in now being handed to the jurors.

His friend asked: "What have they got on the guy - on Svenson?"

Mr Petrovic replied: "Got him outside the house wearing a tracki and got him walking to the park.

"They got CCTV of them two [Mr Ong-a-Kwie and the 16-year-old defendant] walking to the park. I was just in the car. I remember texting.

"They have CCTV of me driving scatty.

"I'm not a murderer."

"How come you're nicked?" Mr Petrovic's friend asked.

"Cos my car was at the scene," he replied.

"Do you think that other kid set you up?"

He said: "I don't know."

"If you get guilty for this murder - you should kill yourself. I'm joking," his friend said.

"I will."

Jurors will now hear a prison transcript between Manuel Petrovic and two of his friends who visited him.

Inspector Perry Benton will help the prosecution's junior counsel Joel Smith to read it out.

Charlie Williams has finished giving his evidence and has left the court.

At 21:24 - just minutes after Jodie was stabbed, Manuel Petrovic answered a call from Mr Williams while he was in the car, said Sarah Forshaw QC who is Mr Petrovic's defence barrister.

"It lasted 30 seconds. And he didn't sound any different to you?" she asked.

"No," Mr Williams replied.

Ms Forshaw asked: "You didn't notice any shouting in the car?"

"No. I would have noticed that," Mr Williams replied.

On the night of 1 March, around 21:24 to 22:30, a number of texts and calls where detected between Mr Williams and Mr Petrovic.

"What were your texts about?" Mr Aylett asked.

"To try and get cannabis from him," he replied.

"Did you manage to get cannabis from him?"

He replied: "No I don't think so. I can't remember."

Witness Charlie Williams, 20, a friend of defendant Manuel Petrovic, has entered the witness box.

Mr Aylett asked Mr Williams how he knew Mr Petrovic.

He replied: "Through his old girlfriend. I've known him for about three years.

"He used to fix my motorbike for me."

This week's proceedings halted early when one of the 12 jurors became unwell.

Prior to that Richard Baxter - a phone data analyst - entered the witness box to explain to the jury why relevant cell site data was relevant in trials.
