Our client was charged with murder and manslaughter in a case involving eight teenagers. They had attended a summer party organised via social media, but the gathering took a violent turn when several individuals were robbed, and tragically, one person was fatally stabbed. The prosecution alleged that our client was a key suspect and played a major role in the events leading to the fatality, resulting in his arrest.
Our client’s mother was in complete distress and immediately contacted our defence solicitors for help. She was overwhelmed but remained adamant that her son was innocent. The police initially requested our client attend an interview for a murder investigation, and we ensured he was well-prepared for questioning. Our defence lawyers successfully secured his bail and provided his family with regular updates. However, despite the initial bail conditions being lifted, our client was later arrested, formally charged with manslaughter, and remanded into custody.
Understanding the gravity of the case, which involved allegations of murder and manslaughter, we immediately got to work. Our priority was to examine all available evidence to determine whether our client was truly involved. After analysing CCTV footage, we established that he was merely present at the scene but had no involvement in the robbery or stabbing. His movements before and after the incident were clear, showing he had not participated in any violence. Additionally, our defence solicitors gathered multiple witness statements, all of which confirmed that our client was not involved in the altercation. Crucially, there was no forensic or blood evidence linking him to the crime, further strengthening his defence.
