A court heard the final words spoken by a teenager after he was fatally stabbed at a summer party. Charlie Cosser, 17, died in hospital after being stabbed several times at the end-of-term party on the grounds of a country mansion in rural Sussex. Another teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denies murdering him.
Following a fight on the dance floor at the party, Wiktor Mlynarski said he found his friend Charlie sitting on a pallet.
