Chris Henley KC and Sebastian Winnett secure a not guilty of murder verdict for 17 year old defendant.
The confrontation on Hackney Road was captured in its entirety by a series of CCTV cameras. The prosecution alleged that the defendant acted in response to a Snapchat post from the deceased, which identified his location at a food shop on Hackney Road, and went armed with a 23 inch machete intent on violence. The defendant maintained that he was the victim of the deceased’s aggression.
The jury returned a manslaughter verdict.
Chris and Sebastian were instructed by Ben Darabi and Stefan Sutherland of Carson Kaye Solicitors.
