An alleged murderer “knew what he was doing” when he fatally stabbed a dad-of-two, a court heard today.
A prosecutor told jurors claims Adam Fletcher was acting in self defence as he stabbed Paul Stenson were false as he delivered his closing speech in a trial which is now running into a fifth week.
Fletcher allegedly murdered Mr Stenson on Princess Drive on December 19 - only hours after the two met at a party there. After an argument between the two turned into a scuffle and they were asked to go outside, Fletcher is said to have grabbed a kitchen knife from inside the home before hiding it behind his back, pulling Mr Stenson towards him and plunging it into his side.
