A man stabbed his former friend in a Nottinghamshire house when an old argument resurfaced as they drank. Connor Smith had been friends with the 22-year-old victim for eight years, with the victim believing previous arguments had been forgiven.
But on August 5, 2021, shortly before 2am, the victim was seen by police officers patrolling Ilkeston Road, Stapleford, covered in blood. After refusing to tell officers exactly what happened to him, it was discovered he had been asked to go to his friend’s house where both the suspect and another man were waiting for him.
The three men drank alcohol and then an old argument resurfaced, resulting in Smith grabbing a kitchen knife from the sink and stabbing the victim to the side, leg and arm. Jago Inquieti, who was also said to be friends with the victim for the last two years, picked up a vodka bottle and smashed it over the victim’s head.
