"The shorter guy was charging towards the taller guy with his arms swinging in a roundhouse sort of motion and the taller guy was backing up with his hands up in the air, retreating back." Vincent Angene Skeen, 18, is on trial over the alleged murder of 17-year-old Luke Tipene in the early hours of November 1, 2014. "The taller guy was trying to defend himself, the shorter guy was very aggressive . After four days, the Crown this afternoon called its last witness and the defence confirmed Skeen would neither give nor call evidence. But when they became visible again he saw "the taller guy clasping at his neck and I can see blood starting to drip down his arm and chest".
