SEVERAL young women have revealed the horrific moment Kian Tordoff died in their arms saying "tell my mum I love her" after being fatally stabbed.

Six males are on trial at Bradford Crown Court for the alleged murder of the 19-year-old on October 10 last year, in John Street.

All six are also charged with the attempted murder of Matthew Page – who is also known as Matthew Lowther.

Arbaz Khan, 22, Aizaz Khan, 27, both of Yew Tree Avenue in the Daisy Hill area, Amaad Shakiel, 20, of Leaventhorpe Lane, Adam Qayum, 23, of Avenel Road in the Allerton area, Mohammed Adil Hussain, 18, of Kite Mews in the Lower Grange area, and a 17-year-old who cannot be named due to his age, all deny murder and attempted murder.

The 17-year-old has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Tordoff on “diminished responsibility” on account of his mental health at the time and also pleaded guilty to wounding with intent in relation to Mr Lowther.

The jury heard pre-recorded interviews from three young female eyewitnesses today (Friday).

All three said they tried to help Mr Tordoff after it became apparent his neck had been badly cut and as his condition worsened, he told them to "tell my mum I love her".

None of them saw the stabbing itself.

Lorene Tasker, who was interviewed on October 10, described the neck wound as a slash, with blood everywhere.

She said she grabbed him and tried to use her bodywarmer to apply pressure to his neck where he was bleeding out from.

Ms Tasker added: "I was saying keep your eyes open and he said 'tell my mum I love her' and it was as if he couldn't speak after that.”

Mr Tordoff “wouldn’t let go of my hand”, she said.

Kelsey Blackwell was emotional in her interview and explained Mr Tordoff was her mum's cousin's son, that his mum named her and she’d do anything for him.

She said: "He's not my first, first proper cousin but I love him like he's my first proper cousin and I'd do anything for him."

The court heard how she froze and could not move her gaze from an Asian man who got out the back of the BMW X5 on John Street with a machete and was "waving it like he was the boss or somet, like he knew what he was coming to do."

Ms Tasker and Ms Blackwell said they recognised him from the brawl earlier and that he had been fighting with a man called Abdullah, nicknamed "Chaser".

Ms Tasker said: "I feel like I'm certain that it was him that came in the car later on."

Ms Blackwell said: "The guy what was in the X5 that jumped out with the machete, when we got out to the top of Sackville Street and they were all fighting, he was on the floor, that's why it stuck out to me."

She added: "It was like they knew, them Asians in that car they knew who they were coming for."

Once the men left, Ms Blackwell was not even aware anyone had been hurt until Mr Tordoff came running up to her.

She said: "He's come running to me holding his neck saying 'Kelsey, I've been stabbed, I've been stabbed'."

She added: "I just thought, I actually can't lose another cousin.

"These three Asian men came walking down as if to see what was going on and they've stood on the other side of the road and they're all laughing on the phone and the police come and I think they've got them on bodycam.

"I just remember holding Kian, with Megan, and I remember him saying 'tell my mum I love her, I'm not going to make it' and I said 'come on, you are'."

They had put Mr Tordoff, who was also bleeding from his back, on the floor so he wouldn't choke on his blood, but he was unable to pull through.

She said: "He was mumbling, you could tell he was going, there was too much blood coming out of him to tell he was going to stay alive."

Alisha Webster-Hinchcliffe, who was interviewed on October 12, also frantically tried to help Mr Tordoff.

She said: "I get weird with blood, I felt a bit fainty, I felt a bit sick. I was on the phone to the ambulance, but because I was in so much shock I couldn't speak."

The trial continues.
