Jurors at Liverpool Crown Court have been taken minute by minute through a dad-of-two’s last moments as they prepare to begin deliberations on whether another man is guilty of his murder.
The judge in the case of Adam Fletcher, who is accused of killing Paul Stenson in December last year, has begun summing up the evidence in the case. Fletcher allegedly murdered Mr Stenson on Princess Drive on December 19 - only hours after the two met at a party there.
After an argument between the two turned into a scuffle and they were asked to go outside, Fletcher is said to have grabbed a kitchen knife from inside the home before hiding it behind his back, pulling Mr Stenson towards him and plunging it into his side.
