Teen’s heartbreaking final words before he was ‘stabbed to death by boy, 15, with 14cm knife in front of schoolkids’
A TEEN told a 15-year-old boy "chill out" before he was stabbed to death in front of primary school pupils, a court heard.
Alfie Lewis, 15, was knifed through the heart with a 14cm blade during the horror in Horsforth, West Yorkshire.
A 15-year-old, who can't be named, is accused of murdering the teen as pupils and parents left nearby St Margaret’s Primary School.
Leeds Crown Court heard how Alfie told his alleged killer to "chill out" before being stabbed three times.
He also asked "what are you doing?" as the horror unfolded in November last year.
Jurors were told Alfie had been walking to meet some pals when he was allegedly set upon.

Prosecutor Craig Hassall KC said: "Alfie did not get as far as meeting any of his friends that day.
"He was approached by (the defendant), and stabbed twice - once in the chest and once in the leg.
"He collapsed and died in the road close to the primary school in full view of scores of pupils leaving school and the people who were waiting to collect them."
A post mortem found a 14cm-deep chest wound penetrated his heart, causing "catastrophic" internal bleeding.

Alfie also had stab wounds to his jaw and thigh, the court was told.
Mr Hassall said the teen defendant had carried the black-painted knife "around all day" expecting to see Alfie.
He claimed he acted in self-defence but jurors heard he had "told nobody" about any threats he received from the victim.
Just days before the attack, he fired a lit firework at Alfie, who confronted the teen and took the box of pyrotechnics away, it was said.
There was also another alleged incident in July last year when Alfie intervened in a fight between the defendant and another boy.
The prosecutor said: ";None of the witnesses heard Alfie shouting at or threatening (the defendant).
"Insofar as any of the witnesses saw Alfie doing anything towards (the defendant), they describe him trying in vain to defend himself from (the defendant's) knife.
"Several of the witnesses describe deliberate blows by (the defendant) to Alfie."
