A comment about the accused's partner is suspected of being at the root of the conflict that ended with the murder of 22-year-old Albanian Lorik Abazi in Croydon, south London. The allegation was made by the prosecution during the trial taking place at the Old Bailey court in the United Kingdom.
According to British media reports, Lorik Abazi had spent Valentine's Day with his partner and friends at a bowling alley in Croydon. The situation then allegedly escalated, ending in a violent confrontation.
According to the version presented by the prosecution, after leaving the premises of the bar, the accused allegedly returned and confronted the group, which also included the 22-year-old Albanian. The clash ended tragically with the killing of Abazi and the injury of two other people.
Ellis Anim-Annor is accused of the incident, and according to reports, he denies the charges of murder and intentional wounding. The case is being examined by the British judiciary, while the prosecution's claims about the motive for the conflict are part of the legal process.
The incident occurred in the early hours of February 15, when emergency services were called to a stabbing in Croydon. Lorik Abazi was rushed to hospital but died from his injuries. Two other men, both aged 21, were injured, one of them in a critical condition.
The trial is expected to shed more light on the circumstances of the incident and the criminal responsibilities of the accused.
