KEVIN George Smith was "trying to stab" rival Daniel Pettersson and was "striking" out at him with a knife in the moments before their fatal confrontation inside a home at Jesmond, a jury has heard.
And a short time later, when Smith, 39, also known as "Squids", left the home and walked past a dying Mr Pettersson on the footpath outside he allegedly told his friend: "do you want it as well".
