A man accused of murder has denied a double stabbing after one man was killed and another was injured after a ‘fist fight’ in Manchester city centre.
Hussein Muhalhal, 20, is accused of the murder of Ahmed Alsharan, the attempted murder of Sami Alhaj and an alternate offence of wounding with intent. He denies the offences.

Giving evidence, Mr Muhalhal said he had gone to the canal with a friend when he heard Mr Al-Enizi Hameed shout ‘Help’ in both Arabic and English. He told jurors that Mr Al-Enizi was being attacked by Mr Alsharan’s group.
