Trial of Bulwell murder suspect collapses for 'legal reasons'
The trial of a Bulwell man accused murder after he drove his car into a crowd of people, has collapsed.
Duane Anthony, 40, of Marton Road, was accused of killing 26-year-old Tyler Fairman after an argument outside Sasha's Bar, in Arnold on May 9, Nottingham Crown Court was told.
Mr Fairman, 26, died from his injuries three days later.
The trial was into its fourth week when, on October 27, it was halted for what the BBC is reporting as ‘legal reasons’.
Judge Nirmal Shant KC then discharged the jury and a new trial date of January 4 has now been set.
Anthony denied one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder after five people were hit by the car in the incident.
Anthony had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in relation to Mr Fairman and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against four of the five other men involved in the case.
Anthony's partner, Destiny Carrier, 29, of Lothair Road, Leicester, had denied assisting an offender.
Both defendants were remanded in custody.
