A MAN accused of murdering Eddy Lemalama on Good Friday 2024 was out for "retribution and payback" after being "humiliated" in front of his friends when he twice stabbed the 40-year-old on his front verandah at Windale, a jury has heard.
Jacob Bell, now 23, was the "aggressor" throughout an ongoing dispute with Mr Lemalama and his mate in the tiny lane of Kankool Way, armed himself with a knife before the fatal confrontation and was not acting in self-defence, Crown prosecutor Brendan Queenan said on Monday.
