Prosecution barrister David Brooke KC accused Taylor Fenwick, 22, of “concocting” a story about Luke Miller, 23, trying to break into Fenwick’s flat in the minutes before he died.
He claimed Fenwick took a hunting knife and a kitchen knife out of his flat to attack Mr Miller and stabbed him to death with the first one.
Fenwick denied all the allegations and said: “It sounds more like a Hollywood film to take two knives out and attack someone. I can’t see the logic in that.”
He also denied evidence from a prosecution witness who alleged she saw Fenwick take the hunting knife out of a drawer and tell her to “stay, don’t f…. move from here” before leaving the flat.
