The prosecutor said Edward Wilson killed Akeem Francis-Kerr with a single stab to the neck on the dancefloor at Valesha's nightclub 'out of anger, arrogance or jealousy'.
A man accused of stabbing someone to death on a nightclub dancefloor because he was"standing in his spot" has been found guilty.
The 29-year-old died within an hour of being stabbed in the neck after the knife pierced both his carotid and jugular veins in what prosecutors say was a dispute over who was standing where in the nightclub. When asked by his defence barrister Nigel Edwards KC why he did not tell police the truth if he knew his friend had admitted stabbing Mr Francis-Kerr, Wilson said he was afraid it would put his son and his mother in danger.
