Summing up in Shane Watson Sedgley alley death case
The prosecutor in the case of the teenager accused of killing Sedgley man Shane Watson has started summing up the case.
Shylon Wishart is alleged to have kicked, stamped on and urinated over Mr Watson, who was on his own after becoming separated from his girlfriend after a night out.
Wolverhampton Crown Court previously heard the victim, Wishart and James Cartwright, who has admitted murder, were involved in an argument in an alleyway off Springfield Grove, Sedgley, after Mr Watson had been asked to hand over a cigarette.
Prosecution barrister Mr Peter Grieves-Smith today started his closing speech. Jurors are expected to be sent out to consider their verdict tomorrow.
Giving evidence last week, Wishart told jurors that he punched and kicked Mr Watson, but denied killing him.
The court previously heard that during a search of Wishart's home, officers found a mobile phone case from Mr Watson's iPhone at the bottom of his garden.
Also discovered were a pair of Wishart's trainers, jeans and a T-shirt, and a pair of Cartwright's trainers, which all contained the blood of Mr Watson.
Cartwright, 18, of Sandyfields Road, Sedgley, has admitted the murder of 23-year-old Mr Watson, who was found on July 28. Wishart, 19, of North Springfield, Sedgley, denies the same charge.
