An alleged killer nicknamed Nasty has denied punching a deaf woman and leaving her to die in the street, telling jurors he has been “traumatised” by what happened.

Duane Owusu allegedly threw Zahwa Mukhtar out of an overcrowded Mercedes car and felled her with a single strike to the neck in the early hours of August 16 last year.
