WHEN Mosa Julius Mbele stabbed a 16-year-old boy at Sydney's Bankstown railway station he was trying to show he "owned" the suburb, his murder trial has heard.
Mosa Julius Mbele has been charged with murdering the 16-year-old, who can't be named for legal reasons, at the western Sydney train station on May 25, 2011.
He has pleaded not guilty on the grounds of self defence.
In closing submissions at the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday, Crown Prosecutor Nanette Williams told the jury they should have no doubt that Mbele was the aggressor as he had armed himself with a knife.
"This (the stabbing) was a willed act, filled with planning, anger and wanting to let (the teenager) know who ran Bankstown," she said.
The court has previously heard that Mbele, then 22, and the dead youth traded a number of physical and verbal blows in and around the station in the hours prior to the stabbing.
In one of the altercations Mbele allegedly told the 16-year-old, "I run Bankstown, I own Bankstown".
Ms Williams said on Tuesday that Mbele was trying to ignite a fight with the teenager, whom he did not like, and "assert his supremacy".
"(The teenager) was a threat to the accused's claim and supremacy at Bankstown railway station," she said.
The 16-year-old's cousin, who also can't be named, previously told the court that before his death the teenager had told her Mbele was part of a new gang called ISK, whose members wore all black.
In the moments before the fatal stabbing, Ms Williams said the 16-year-old boy's friend allegedly heard Mbele saying "ISK, don't mess around with ISK".
The trial before Justice Megan Latham continues.
