Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter were convicted of killing former Birmingham City academy player Cody Fisher on Boxing Day in 2022.
Two men have been found guilty of murdering footballer Cody Fisher, who was stabbed to death inside a Birmingham nightclub on Boxing Day in 2022.
Fellow defendant Reegan Anderson, 19, of Brookvale Park Road, Erdington, was found not guilty of murder and not guilty of an alternative charge of manslaughter but guilty of affray and was bailed until a sentencing hearing after Easter. “It was not a matter of chance that Cody Fisher was attacked. It was not a flash of temper – it was a planned act of retribution.”Saying the jury may find it difficult to comprehend the potential reason behind the attack, Mr Duck added: “The loss of Cody Fisher’s life appears to relate to a minor falling out he had with Remy Gordon approximately 48 hours before his death.”“It was packed,” Mr Duck said of the venue.
Mr Fisher was not prepared to apologise, having done nothing wrong and been threatened with violence, the court heard, and left the club with his friend.Mr Duck said of Gordon: “He was set on retribution that ultimately was to lead to the loss of Cody Fisher’s young life in the Crane nightclub. “The prosecution say within three-quarters of an hour of that minor incident taking place in Popworld you see the way Remy Gordon felt about it and what he intended to do about it,” Mr Duck said.
Jurors were shown CCTV images of the three defendants arriving at the Crane club and copies of Snapchat messages sent between Gordon and Carpenter in the hours before they arrived there.A third electronic conversation – alleged to show a “sinister intention” on the part of Gordon – said he was “looking to snuff someone”.
“Cody Fisher indicated that he was not prepared to leave the premises and be intimidated in that way,” Mr Duck said.
