WITH the trial nearing the end of its first week at Reading Crown Court, here is everything we know so far about the murder of Kyron Lee in Slough.

Summary of the case:

The 21-year-old was knocked from his bike in Earls Lane by a 'stolen' black Golf on October 2 last year at about 8.50pm.

Inside the vehicle were five men – it is believed by the Crown that three of those men are now on trial at Reading Crown Court charged with murder.

It is the Crown’s case that after the collision, Khalid Nur, 20, Yaqhub Mussa, 21, Fras Seedahmed, 18, all of Slough, Mohammed Elgamri, 18, of Windsor and Elias Almallah left the vehicle and chased Mr Lee along Earls Lane.

It is alleged CCTV caught the men carrying ‘large machete-type knives’.

Another alleged attacked followed in Waterman Close where ‘multiple stab wounds’ were inflicted on Mr Lee who later died from the injuries.

Who was allegedly involved?

Nur, Seedahmed and Elgamri are now on trial, which started on June 1, charged with murder – which they deny.

Mussa was due to stand trial but pleaded guilty instead to one charge of murder on May 31 and will be sentenced at a later date.

The fifth man, Almallah, is said to have fled jurisdiction.

Another defendant, Yakoub Tarafi, 18, is also on trial charged with assisting an offender post murder.

There is another final defendant, Mohamed Abduelle, who the prosecution believe had a hand in planning the attack, who has been charged but will stand trial separately.

He attempted to flea by heading to Holland but was eventually extradited and charged.

What are the defendant’s defences?

The men on trial argue that they have been ‘wrongly identified’ through CCTV and they were not at the scene of the incident.

Defence barrister for Seedahmed, Mr Jones, told the jury: "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."

What is the prosecution relying on?

Prosecutor Christopher Hewertson has been showing the jury CCTV footage of the defendants prior to the incident and comparing their clothing to that of the men caught on CCTV during the incident.

Police officers and intelligence analysts from Thames Valley Police have been called to give witness evidence so far in the trial about how the CCTV was gathered as well as cell phone data.

Timeline of events as described by the prosecution so far:

  • September 4: It is alleged that prior to the ‘planned attack’, the defendants stole a black VW Gold from a drive in High Wycombe. The prosecution say a false cloned set of number plates were placed on the vehicle ahead of the incident. Nur is alleged to have searched the internet for false plates and contacted a ‘criminal associate to do the cloning. Police later from a cloned number plate left at the scene as well as in the boot of the vehicle left abandoned in Stour Close car park after the incident.
