First reports from trial of Harry Potter actor killer

The alleged murderer of Harry Potter actor Robert Knox has started, and testimony is already starting to roll in that definitely sounds convicting against accused murderer Karl Bishop. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

Karl Bishop, 21, is accused of stabbing the 18-year-old five times outside the Metro bar in Sidcup, Kent. Five other teenagers were seriously injured trying to restrain the attacker as he “lunged and swung” two kitchen knives at them, the court heard.

It is claimed that the tragedy followed a series of run ins, including an incident at the same venue the previous week, after which Bishop, “a habitual knife carrier”, allegedly made a “chilling” prediction.

After a row with Mr Knox and his friends, Bishop allegedly promised revenge and said: “‘I’m going to come back and someone’s going to die’.”

Robert Knox died defending his younger brother, Jamie, and was definitely a hero. The trial will continue this week.
