'It's something I think about every day since it happened': Knifeman accepts killing man but claims self-defence
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA knifeman accused of murder said he feared for his life as he stabbed a young man who he claimed was attacking him with a sword.
Salah Adam, 21, died after being knifed to the neck in Old Trafford in May last year. Two other young men, Demari Rose, 20, and Xavaiour Wynter, 21, are both on trial accused of his murder.
They deny the charge. Prosecutors allege that Mr Adam was knifed following a 'heated' dispute about an incident the night before, when about 15 young men including Mr Adam’s younger brother had been arrested on suspicion of affray.
Rose admitted inflicting the wound which caused Mr Adam’s fatal injury, in the back garden of a house next door to the Adam family home on Kings Road.
