Haami Hanara was 14 years and two months old when Kelly Donner died in Flaxmere in March this year.
Donner was found seriously injured in a carpark near Flax Bar and Eatery and later died at the scene.
Four other teenagers - three males and a female aged between 14 and 16 - have appeared in the Hastings Youth Court in relation to the assault.
They were charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm with another weapon, but only Hanara was charged with murder.
The trial is expected to last about two weeks.
