The youth defendant in the Alison McBlain murder trial has said one of his co-defendants 'threatened to kill him' if he told police about the events of that fateful night.
The 17-year-old, who was 16 at the time of Alison's death and cannot be named for legal reasons, told the jury at Preston Crown Court that on November 19 2019, he was a back seat passenger in the Fiat Punto that hit Alison and victim Christian Rivers, along with Kaylib Connolly, Dean Qayum and Joshua Titterington.
