A 21-year-old has denied attempting to murder a teenager.

Jamie Goodege is accused of stabbing the alleged victim during an incident at a house in Fourth Avenue, Gillingham, on January 25.

Police and paramedics were called at around 2.25pm and discovered a man in his late teens requiring medical treatment.

He was then airlifted to a London hospital in a stable condition.

Following the reported assault, Goodege, of Fourth Avenue, Gillingham, was arrested and later charged with attempted murder.

Appearing via a prison video link, he pleaded not guilty during a hearing at Maidstone Crown Court today (February 24).

His trial, which is expected to last a week, is due to start on July 7.

KentOnline previously spoke to nearby residents who said it is usually a “quiet area”.

Jones Hak, who has lived there for 16 years, said: “This is the first time I have seen this many police cars in this road.”

Neighbour Carol Heathfield said at one point there were around 15 police officers at the scene and a helicopter circling above.
