MEN charged with the murder of a 21-year-old from Slough say, ‘we weren’t there’, a trial has heard.

Kyron Lee was knocked from his bike in Earls Lane by a stolen Golf on October 2 last year. He was then ‘chased’ into Waterman Court and stabbed in a ‘planned attack’, the prosecution alleges at the trial in Reading Crown Court.

It is the Crown’s case that Khalid Nur, 20, Yaqhub Mussa, 21, Fras Seedahmed, 18, all of Slough, Mohammed Elgamri, 18, of Windsor and Elias Almallah murdered Mr Lee while a sixth defendant, Yakoub Tarafi, 18, assisted them after the fact.

Mussa was due to stand trial but pleaded guilty instead and Almallah, is said to have fled jurisdiction.

However, in a defence summary heard on Monday (June 5), the defendants are expected to argue they were not present during the incident and have been ‘wrongly identified’.

Ian Henderson, defending Nur, told the jury that the 'fundamental issue is one of identification'. 

He said: "[Nur] denies being present in Earls Lane when the Golf hit Kyron Lee and he denies being one of those that chased and stabbed Kyron Lee in Waterman Court."

Barrister Paul Keleher, defending Elgamri, said he similarly was not present.

"There is no dispute he travelled from London to Slough [on the day of the incident],” he said.

He went on to say that Elgamri admits to being at Pepe's Piri Piri with the other defendants but does not accept he travelled with the other defendants to Ashmount Crescent near where the allegedly stolen black Golf was being kept.

"He did not travel in that car and was not involved in the attack on Kyron Lee,” he added.

The defence barrister for Seedahmed, Mr Jones, said: "Mr Seedahmed denies that he played any part in the murder of Kyron Lee.

"His case is simple - he wasn't there. He did not enter the car park in Ashmount Crescent so he wasn't the driver of the VW Golf, he was not in the car at all.

"The issue in this case is quite simply that he was wrongly identified entering the car park on poor quality CCTV."

Lastly, Jonathan Page - the defence barrister for Tarafi – said his client did not know about the stabbing and was simply given his co-defendants a life home after the incident.

He said: "The prosecution say that he knew, the defence say he didn't.”

He also pointed out the words 'with intent to impede the apprehension' meaning to prevent the arrest of his co-defendants.

Mr Page said: "That's an issue. The prosecution say that by taking Mr Seedahmed and Mr Elgamri back to their homes, he was trying to impede their apprehension and again...that's an issue.

The trial continues.
