The cases for the prosecution and defence of Mpho Obi, 22, and Omari Lauder, 23, have finished and Justice Michael Chambers KC has given directions to the jury.

Both men deny murder and possessing an offensive weapon, a zombie knife used to kill 16-year-old Terrell during a four-minute knife fight in a notorious Merry Hill drugs den.
