Jodie Chesney 'killers in substantial £2,800 drug deal hours before she was knifed to death as wrong target in pathetic turf war'

JODIE Chesney's killers were negotiating a "substantial" £2,800 drug deal hours before she was knifed to death, a court heard today.

Crispin Aylett, prosecuting, said the foursome did "quite a lot" of drug dealing in Harold Hill and there was a number of trips to the area on the day Jodie was stabbed.Mr Aylett alleged the 16-year-old defendant acted as a "runner" for Petrovic and the 17-year-old defendant was helping Ong-a-kwie sell drugs on March 1.

He told police he had been with a friend who picked up two other men and the four of them drove to Harold Hill, where two men got out.After dropping the two men off, Petrovic claimed a black male had pulled a knife to his throat and snatched his car keys. The court heard how Ong-a-kwie leapt out of a window on to a lean-to shed but crashed through it as he tried to escape from police.
