Updated: Teen’s friend’s harrowing testimony reveals threats day before knife attack, as bail denied again to Jake Dalli Balzan

In a new development, a friend of the 15-year-old girl – victim of the violent assault at the Hal Kirkop school – testified in court about all that led to the attack. She narrated an incident that had happened one day before. That very day a 13-year-old schoolmate, allegedly the same person involved in the assault, acted to threaten her (the victim). The girl allegedly demanded €400 and warned that if denied, she and her friends would come after her with a knife.

Jake Dalli Balzan-the 21-year-old accused of setting the attack and being in posession of the spring-loaded knife (mus), which was used in the incident is being denied bail yet again.
