- DAN WARBURTON

TEENAGER Elianne Andem pleaded with her killer to stop as he stabbed her in the street, a court heard.

Her friend, who had been dating defendant Hassan Sentamu, recalled seeing her "on the floor with her hand out, saying, 'Stop, stop stop"."

In a video interview played at the Old Bailey, the girl who cannot be named for legal reasons - told detectives that she had arranged to meet Sentamu to exchange possessions.

Seconds before Elianne was fatally attacked on September 27 last year, the murder trial heard that Sentamu, who reportedly had anger issues, warned the girl: "I don't want to hurt you."

But the court was told when Elianne, 15, grabbed the bag of items as a "joke", Sentamu chased her down and drove a kitchen knife 12cm into her neck.
