Teen Trial Begins for Attempted Murder in Holbeach

A 16-year-old boy is on trial at Lincoln Crown Court, accused of attempting to murder another teenager in Holbeach during an incident last July. The prosecution alleges that the defendant attacked the victim, leaving him with serious wounds to his throat and chest, before he was found unconscious and later placed in an induced coma. During the trial, the defendant admitted to unlawfully wounding the victim but denied the attempted murder charge, claiming he had no memory of the attack after drinking vodka with the victim and another girl. Evidence presented includes a FaceTime video in which the defendant allegedly threatened the victim and made a chilling message to the girl saying, 'it's on you.' The court heard that police found the victim lying face down, with blood nearby, and had to place him in recovery position. The trial continues as jurors assess the circumstances and intent behind the defendant's actions.
