BBC News Text:
[The Metro reports on the trial
of Hassan Sentamu,
the teenager accused of stabbing to death
Croydon schoolgirl Elianne Andam
in September 2023.
The paper says Elianne was a friend
of Mr Sentamu's ex-girlfriend,
and that the pair had met him
to exchange some bags of possessions.
It says the bag Mr Sentamu brought did not
contain a teddy bear belonging
to his ex, so Elianne tried to grab the
other bag back from him.

Prosecutor Alex Chalk KC called
it a "gesture of solidarity that cost
Elianne her life".
Mr Sentamu previously pleaded guilty
to manslaughter but is on trial
charged with murder,
which he denies.]
