Remy Gordon alleged at Birmingham Crown Court that co-defendant Kami Carpenter admitted to stabbing someone on the night Cody Fisher was killed.
A man accused of murdering a semi-professional footballer has claimed he is “not the killer” and only found out the victim had been stabbed when a co-defendant allegedly confessed in a pizza shop.
The 23-year-old, who denies charges of murder and affray, told jurors he did not know Carpenter had brought a knife into the Crane and insisted he did not encourage others to assault Mr Fisher.Answering questions from his KC Trevor Burke, Gordon said a confrontation occurred with Mr Fisher as he crossed the dancefloor to leave the club.
Carpenter then arrived at the takeaway, wearing different clothes to those he had been wearing at the Crane, the court heard. Asked what he had then said to Carpenter, Gordon added that he had asked where the knife was now, and his friend said he had left it at the scene.Questioned about Snapchat messages in which he suggested that Carpenter should surrender himself “and own up to what he did”, Gordon said: “I just hoped that the investigation would have been done and that the truth would come out – that I am not the killer and he actually killed him.
