Teenager Kyle Yule died from a stab wound after rival gangs clashed in Medway, it was revealed today.

Prosecutor Richard Cherrill told a judge at Maidstone Crown Court the gangs were from Chatham and Gillingham.

Kyle was in a car in East Street in Gillingham in the early evening of Friday, October 6, when it was “attacked” by other youths.

The 17-year-old, who lived in the town, suffered a wound just under his right armpit which hit an artery. He died in hospital the following morning.

The details emerged as Victor Maibvisira, 19, appeared by TV link with Elmley Prison, accused of Kyle’s murder.

Maibvisira, of St John’s Road, Gillingham, was arrested in London.

Mr Cherrill said there was CCTV film of the incident and added it was likely that others would be charged with murder.

“One is in custody and six are on bail,” he said. “There are outstanding enquiries in relation to others. We are not in a position to do too much today.”

Maibvisira will enter a plea on November 14. Judge Jeremy Carey set a trial date for April 3 next year.

Clare Antenen, defending, said a bail application would be made at another hearing.

The teenager spoke only to be identified. Members of his family were in court for the brief hearing.
