Demari Rose and Xavaiour Wynter both deny murdering Salah Adam
A young man was murdered when he tried to protect his friend who was being attacked by knifemen, a jury has been told. Salah Adam, 21, died after being stabbed to the neck in Old Trafford in May last year.
Prosecutors allege that both defendants were armed with knives. Jurors have heard that Rose has admitted being in possession of a blade, but Wynter denies that he was armed. Prosecutors claim that Wynter was present that day, and allege that he deliberately gave a false name to an officer who had stopped and searched him. When he was later arrested on suspicion of murder, 'by sheer coincidence' the same officer was also at Swinton police station and recognised him, jurors heard.
Mr Gozem said: “That could have been the end of the matter, a frank exchange of views, a few angry words, even the production of a knife. But the prosecution say that was not where Rose and Wynter wanted to leave things. They wanted to take it further.” “Once out of the view of that alleyway, they drew their weapons,” Mr Gozem said. The prosecutor claimed that the defendants were intent on causing ‘at the very least, really serious bodily harm’.
