Bristol teenagers plead guilty to stabbing 16-year-old boy

Two teenagers have admitted charges after a boy aged 16 was stabbed in Bristol

The victim was inside a convenience store in Wells Road at around 5.40pm on Sunday, April 18, when he sustained multiple non-life-threatening stab wounds for which he required hospital treatment.

Originally Kaya Carr, 18, of Glyn Vale in Knowle, and Jaheim Mullings, 19, of Downton Road, Knowle West, were both charged with attempted murder.

Yesterday (December 16, 2021) the pair appeared via video link at Bristol Crown Court.

Both pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm as well as possessing an offensive weapon.

Robin Shellard, prosecuting, said the pleas were acceptable to the Crown and asked for the attempted murder charge to lie on file.

A trial date which had been set for January 4 was vacated.

The Recorder of Bristol His Honour Judge Peter Blair QC remanded the pair in custody and adjourned sentencing, pending reports from the probation service, until January 31.

He told the pair: "Custodial sentences are the most likely outcome."
