Teen Accused in Fatal Stabbing Trial | Leicester News

An 18-year-old student, Harper Dennis, stands trial for fatally stabbing Khaleed Oladipo, a third-year university student, on Oxford Street in Leicester. The prosecution claims Dennis confronted Oladipo demanding money he allegedly owed, escalating into a violent altercation that left Oladipo with six stab wounds — including one to the heart — and dead within an hour. Oladipo’s girlfriend testified she heard him say, “Why did you come up and stab me?” before rushing to find him unconscious. Witnesses describe a chaotic scuffle, some initially thinking it was just students roughhousing, but later realizing a knife was involved. Dennis denies murder and claims he didn’t unlock his phone for police. The trial continues as more witnesses are set to testify, building toward determining whether Dennis’s actions were intentional or accidental.
