Fatally stabbed : young chef Patrick Crowe - pictured on Facebook.
A teenage girl has pleaded guilty to her role in a fatal attack on apprentice chef Patrick Crowe, who was stabbed to death at a Sydney bus stop.
The 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was due to stand trial in the Supreme Court on Monday charged with murdering the 22-year-old man at Parramatta on July 8 last year.
However, the murder charge was withdrawn and the girl pleaded guilty to using unlawful violence towards the young man in a manner which would have caused him to fear for his safety.
Mr Crowe was set upon by a gang of young people after he and his friends exchanged barbs with some young women.
The gang of mostly teenagers circled Mr Crowe, punching and kicking him, before 22-year-old Christopher Brilliantes stabbed him twice with a knife.
Mr Crowe died later in Westmead Hospital.
Brilliantes was jailed this month for at least 13½ years for murder.
The court heard that seven other teenagers had already been dealt with for offences including affray and concealing a serious indictable offence.
Most of them received good behaviour bonds, the court heard.
Justice Christine Adamson ordered the girl's case to be remitted to the Children's Court for sentencing.
She remains on bail.
Outside court, Crowe family supporters waved placards saying "Nine people involved, only one jailed" and "Juveniles to be held accountable".
