Teen Accused in Oxford Street Stabbing | Leicester News

The trial of 18-year-old Harper Dennis, accused of fatally stabbing his former friend and third-year university student Mr. Oladipo on Oxford Street, continues today. Witnesses describe a chaotic scene — one even likened it to a “snowstorm of feathers” as both wore puffer jackets. Prosecutors say Oladipo was stabbed six times; Dennis, who knew the victim from London and is pleading not guilty, claims self-defense. The defense also faces charges for knife possession and withholding his phone’s PIN. Key evidence includes dashcam footage and CCTV — though some views were blocked by a van — while public witnesses recount seeing Dennis holding a knife as Oladipo asked, “Are you going to do something?” The prosecution’s case spans the week, with today’s focus on eyewitnesses and video review. Court opens at 10:15 AM. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
