A34 closed | 30 year old man murdered after traffic light "altercation"

So was it road rage or was this some organised / gang violence. It seems a very odd story.

The latter more than likely..

It sounds like the original person arrested may have 'fingered' his associates. That won't go down too well if it is gang related.

He’ll be crying for his mum when he’s getting creamed up the dirt box , big gangsters till they get in the big house and see what real gangsters are like

Liz Macdonald just got wet.

Unless they all claim the other was the stabby one and then it's on the police to identify which one got out of hand. That kind of defence can be very successful.

It's odd as there will be loads of cctv around that junction and at that time in the morning there won't be many people about. Makes no sense for serious criminals as they will be on to the car very quickly. It's badly planned if I is planned.

Can’t they all be charged under joint enterprise laws?

Recent case in Withington out of the 3 charged one was found not guilty at trial, even though they all went into that house to beat the man up/kill him. People were outraged that joint enterprise wasn't used.

That will be happening in strange ways daily

I'm sure that was used in the trial of the murderers of Garry Newlove in Warrington in 2007.
And some of them were convicted of murder and jailed the following year.

They have some strange ways in the Strangeways Hotel.

I know a tragic case where I guy wad killed in a pub car park. It was a single punch and then he collapsed, died in hospital a few days later all over a fruit machine argument. There were 3 lads involved and as all blamed another no one was convicted. Not sure where joint enterprise comes in.
