Court shown stabbing captured on car's dashcam

Footage from a car's dashcam of a man being stabbed to death in a street in south- west London has been shown to jurors in a murder trial at the Old Bailey.

Keelen Wong, 22, was killed on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton in front of "horrified" witnesses as he was leaning into a car to speak to the driver, the court heard.

Prosecutors also allege the attack on 3 October was in revenge for an earlier murder of an associate of the defendants.

Kyiza Sandiford, 23, and two 16-year-olds, who cannot be named due to their age, all deny murder.

The court was told that as Mr Wong was talking to the driver, three attackers ran towards him "with their hoods up and their faces obscured".

Prosecutor Jacob Hallam KC alleged Mr Sandiford "struck the blow" and said he did so with a knife that was "jointly owned" with the other two defendants.

A woman, who was sitting in a car directly behind the VW Polo, witnessed the events.

Prosecution barrister Jacob Hallam KC said: "It unfolded literally directly in front of a horrified motorist called Kate Campbell.

"She was sitting in a queue of traffic lights, waiting for the lights to change."

Dashcam on Ms Campbell's car "recorded everything", the court heard.

Jurors were warned beforehand by the barrister that "it is inevitably, of course, shocking to see footage of a man being stabbed to death on a street in this, your city".

A man in a nearby taxi, David Livingstone, also witnessed the events.

Mr Livingstone heard the alleged knifeman say to Mr Wong, "You think I wouldn't catch you?" before the attack, the prosecutor told the court.

Mr Hallam added: "The horrified Mr Livingstone got out of the taxi to see what he could do to help."

He said: "From conversations that (the 16-year-old defendants) had, which were recovered by the police in the course of their investigation, it would appear that the killing of Mr Wong was in response to the earlier murder of an associate of the defendants."

Mr Wong suffered a wound that was "at least" 10in (26cm) deep and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Sandiford, of Merton, south-west London, and the two other defendants all deny murder and having an article with a blade or point, with one of the 16-year-olds denying a further charge of having an article with a blade or point.

The trial continues.
