Jury retires to begin deliberating in trial of three men accused of killing footballer Cody Fisher
Jurors trying three men for the murder of a semi-professional footballer have retired to begin deliberating.
Remy Gordon, Kami Carpenter and Reegan Anderson are alleged to have killed Cody Fisher during a fight on a dance floor at Birmingham’s Crane nightclub on Boxing Day 2022 in “awful revenge” for an incident two days earlier.
Mr Fisher, a 23-year-old former Birmingham City academy member who also played for Stourbridge, Stratford Town and Bromsgrove Sporting, died from a stab wound.
Carpenter, 22, Gordon, 23, and 19-year-old Anderson all deny murdering Mr Fisher.
Gordon, of Cofton Park Drive, Birmingham, and Carpenter and Anderson, both of no fixed address, also deny a charge of affray.
The jury in the case at Birmingham Crown Court has now started deliberating.
