'They threw him out to me': Friend describes chaos at Kelvin before, after stabbing
Trial into 2015 stabbing death of Brett Bourne continues
The trial of a teen accused of fatally stabbing Brett Bourne inside Kelvin High School two years ago heard more testimony Monday about events immediately leading up to and after the attack.
A now 19-year-old former student testified he was outside the school June 2, 2015 when he saw Bourne and friend Alastair Guyan stop with their bikes on Kingsway. The man, who was under 18 at the time, cannot be identified by name under terms of a publication ban.
The man said he went over to talk to Bourne, who wanted to fight another student he saw on school grounds. Court has heard testimony Bourne was mad at the student because he had been dating his ex-girlfriend.
"Which is what made it funny, because I knew Brett would never have that kind of money," the man said.
Bourne — who court has heard was not allowed on school property — tried to goad the other teen across the street to fight. After a few minutes, the other teen "didn't want to fight [Bourne] clearly and ran away inside the school," the man said.
Other students followed them inside
Several other students followed Bourne and the other teen as they ran into the school, the man said.
"Everyone was kind of making their way there to see what was going on," the man said. "I think everybody wanted to have a bit of a view."
Prosecutors allege another now 19-year-old former student intervened inside the school and stabbed Bourne once in the chest.
Neither of the men who testified Monday followed Bourne inside the school but were outside another set of doors facing Stafford Street when Bourne emerged a couple minutes later.
"Just as I opened the doors, they threw him out to me," Guyan said. "He looked dazed and confused, like he got punched enough times to daze him type of look."
Guyan said he started walking Bourne back to their bikes before he collapsed.
'That's when I noticed the blood'
"I tried picking him up, that's when I noticed the blood on his boxers," Guyan said. "I put him back down, grabbed his sweater and shirt and pulled them back up to see what was wrong. That's when I saw the wound by his ribs."
Guyan said a man driving by who identified himself as a doctor stopped and performed CPR.
"I knew it wasn't [working]," Guyan said.
The accused told police at the time that he suffered a slash wound to his forearm in the attack. Prosecutors allege the wound was self-inflicted.
Guyan and the other man who testified Monday said they did not see Bourne with a weapon.
