Jurors have heard details from the first interview that detectives completed with a trucker accused of murdering his "friend" and fellow lorry driver.
Rafal Seremak, 45, denies the murder and manslaughter of Miroslaw Iwaniuk, 50, at Nolan Transport in Astmoor Industrial Estate, Runcorn, on Wednesday, August 4 last year. Prosecutor John Benson, QC, told jurors Mr Iwaniuk died after “horse play” between a group of wagon drivers turned violent.
During the incident, Seremak offered a vape to Mr Iwaniuk, swept his leg and “pinned” Mr Iwaniuk face down on the ground in a “headlock”. Mr Iwaniuk lost consciousness and was pronounced dead later at Warrington Hospital, having suffered “traumatic neck and back injuries”.
