It started with a fight between two groups of students where Aya Hishemh's brother and sister were injured. It's alleged Aya Mishemh on hearing about it, after declaring her intention to hunt them down and kill the group, in an act of raw vengeance drove her (or a) car through them standing at a bus stop.
Jacob Cummins, 17, died in the incident and Ms Hishemh is is now on trial accused of his murder. She has also been charged with attempting to kill Robert Bell, Anwre Ige and Augustine Janga, who were seriously injured.
Ms Hishmeh has admitted driving dangerously but maintained she had only wanted to warn the teenagers to stay away from her family and had not meant to kill or harm anyone.
Her lawyer, Anthony Elliott, said an expert would testify that Ms Hishmeh's car was going too fast and, even if maximum braking was applied, she would not have been able to stop before she hit the teenagers
There's CCTV.
One of the witnesses said she heard Ms Hishmeh say "multiple times" she "was going to kill them and their family", while another witness said she heard Ms Hishmeh say she "was going to find the boys and then she was going to kill them … kill everyone".
Another witness said she saw Ms Hishmeh make a phone call before a man arrived in a red car, and after a conversation Ms Hishmeh got into the driver's seat and left the car park.
