The teen said that Amen then noticed his friend with the frying pan behind him, and he feared he was going to stab him.<\/p>\n

Iain McSporran KC, defending the 17-year-old, asked if he had told Amen to leave his own client alone because he had “nothing to do with this”.<\/p>\n

He replied: “Yes.”<\/p>\n

The boy said Amen then turned back around, at which point he stabbed him with the sword.<\/p>\n

The accused said he was “panicking and scared” as Amen ran away, bleeding heavily. <\/p>\n

He told the court he was not aware that Amen then collapsed on Clarendon Street. <\/p>\n

He said he removed his blood-stained jogging bottoms and threw them over a wall.<\/p>\n

He also later visited the city’s Kelvingrove Park where he kicked the alleged murder weapon near a river.<\/p>\n

The trial was previously told that the accused had carried out an internet search of Amen and the incident on the day following the events. <\/p>\n

He said: “I knew he was badly injured. I had no idea that he died.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
