Two dogs were used in a vicious gang attack that led to a 16-year-old boy being killed, the Old Bailey has heard.

Oluwaseyi Ogunyemi, also known as Seyi, died in Larkhall Park, Stockwell, after being stabbed six times in April 2009.

His 17-year-old friend was stabbed nine times but survived.

Chrisdian Johnson, 22, Shane Johnson, 20, both of Wyvil Road, Battersea, and Darcy Menezes, 18, of Studley Road, Clapham, deny murder and attempted murder.

The Old Bailey heard the two dogs, owned by Chrisdian Johnson and Mr Menezes felled Ogunyemi before he was stabbed.

After attack on April 27 last year, a post mortem examination gave Oluwaseyi’s cause of death as multiple stab wounds to the chest and abdomen.

The trial continues.
