A MAN allegedly involved in the murder of a teenage boy claimed not to know what happened.
Robert Farrell was quizzed by a police officer shortly after the incident close to Celtic Park on September 29, 2019.
The 33-year-old was still near to the scene as Liam Hendry, 18, was being treated by paramedics after being hit by a van.
Farrell was standing near co-accused Dean Wright, 32, who was separately receiving medical treatment in Barrowfield.
PC Nicola Dixon was the officer who spoke to Farrell.
She told the High Court in Glasgow today: "I asked him did he know about the injured person with the Transit van.
"He said he did not know anything about that."
Prosecutor Liam Ewing QC asked the constable: "How did he appear to you?"
She replied: "He appeared to be in shock."
Farrell was asked about Wright, who was also lying injured.
The court heard he again claimed not to know what occurred - then said "four or five males had attacked" Wright.
PC Dixon went with Wright in an ambulance to hospital.
Mr Ewing asked her: "Mr Wright was unconscious, significantly injured and required emergency medical treatment?"
The officer: "Yes."
PC Ian Cairns also told the trial how he spoke with Farrell at the scene.
The constable said: "He stated that he had come around the corner and that it was chaos."
Wright and Farrell deny murdering Liam and attempting to kill four others helping the teenager.
The trial, before judge Lord Arthurson, continues.
