Despite surgery, Khayri McLean died after being stabbed near his Huddersfield school, a jury hears.
By Alex MossA 15-year-old boy who was fatally attacked near his school died from a stab wound to his chest, a court has heard.
Pathologist Dr Christopher Johnson said the blade had passed through Khayri's lungs and pierced his heart.Dr Johnson told the jury that the blade had gone about 14cm into Khayri's chest and had "essentially stopped inside his heart". However, he added it was "inevitable" as the boy would eventually have collapsed due to the stab wound.
Jurors were told that after the stabbing, Khayri was taken to Leeds General Infirmary where he underwent an emergency operation, but he died at about 17:15 GMT.
