A knife-obsessed schoolboy who stabbed his 15-year-old love rival in the heart and left him to die on the pavement has been jailed for seven years.
Pharrell Garcia was attacked with his own pocket knife in a park near Stellman Close in Stoke Newington, north London, at around 4pm on July 23 last year.
The 16-year-old killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claimed Pharrell was armed with the 'multi-tool' knife and he acted in self-defence.
He said: 'I had no intention to kill him or do serious harm - only to save my own life.'
The boy, from east London, had a previous conviction for possession of a machete.
