A teenager’s comment to his co-accused in the Kyle Yule murder trial after they were taken to the cells has been told to a jury.

A custody officer reported that Victor Maibvisira was walking backwards when he shouted to the four other teenagers: “Remember, addresses are on case papers.”

“Words were exchanged,” said the officer Emma Sutton.

“We were in the process of putting them in cells. There was ‘my man’ or ‘my mans’, talking in slang. There are quite a few I have had to Google.”

Ms Sutton agreed she said in her statement that Maibvisira, known as Vee, shouted: “Remember, your addresses are on the case papers.”

Maibvisira, of St John’s Road, Gillingham, three 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, from Gillingham, Croydon, Sittingbourne and Stevenage, Hertfordshire, all deny murdering 17-year-old Kyle, an alternative of manslaughter and violent disorder.

Maibvisira, 19, and one of the 17-year-olds have admitted threatening "another" with a machete in Gillingham Road, Gillingham, six days earlier on October 1.

Another 17-year-old has denied affray, using unlawful violence, on that date.

Maidstone Crown Court has heard Kyle was sitting in a car in East Street, Gillingham, on October 6 when about six youths started smashing the windows and slashed a tyre.

He tried to run to the nearby front door of his friend Lewis Dilallo’s home but was attacked in the small garden. He died from a stab wound to his armpit.

“Always somebody else’s fault, isn’t it? Get your coffin ready – it was you who wrote that on Snapchat wasn’t it?..” - Cairns Nelson QC

Only Maibvisira and one of the 17-year-olds have given evidence. The three others decided not to go into the witness box.

Maibvisira denied he was “a controlling and manipulative individual” who regarded Gillingham as his manor.

Cairns Nelson, QC for one of the 17-year-olds, asked Maibvisira: “You are the one who has problems with people in Gillingham, aren’t you?

“You have had problems with people throughout 2017 – street fights with other lads, and you are at the centre of it every time, aren’t you?

Maibvisira replied: “That’s incorrect.”

Mr Nelson continued: “Snapchat afterwards – ‘Get your coffin ready’. Do you remember that?”

Maibvisira claimed: “That wasn’t me.”

Mr Nelson: “Always somebody else’s fault, isn’t it? Get your coffin ready – it was you who wrote that on Snapchat wasn’t it?”

Maibvisira: “No sir.”

Earlier, he claimed the teenager Mr Nelson represents had told him he had stabbed Kyle.

“I asked him what happened and his reply back to me was that he had stabbed Kyle,” he said. “My response was ‘Why did you stab him? There was no need for it.”

Maibvisira said the youth shrugged his shoulders and exhaled.

The topic, he said, changed to him having a cut on his finger. Asked by his QC whether he ever suggested he did it trying to stab Kyle, he said: “Of course not, no.”

The other youth, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, earlier claimed Maibvisira had admitted to him he had knifed the victim.

He added that Maibvisira washed his knife in bleach after telling him he had stabbed Kyle in the legs.

The teenager said during the attack it looked like Maibvisira was punching Kyle. He said he heard Kyle shout out ‘Vee stop. I have had enough. I get the point.’”

Judge Adele Williams told jurors there was no question of self-defence in the case.

The trial continued with closing speeches.
