CCTV captures murderer attacking fellow clubber in Walsall
- 4 months ago
A man has been jailed for life for murdering a club-goer at a Walsall nightspot after finding him standing in 'his spot'.
Edward Wilson, who is 40 years old, killed Akeem Francis-Kerr by stabbing him in Valesha's nightclub - also known as Coliseum - in the early hours of March 11.
Mr Francis-Kerr, 29, was dead within an hour of being stabbed in the neck after the knife pierced both his carotid and his jugular veins in what prosecutors say was a dispute over who was standing where in the nightclub.
Wilson, of Temple Way in Oldbury, was told he will serve a minimum of 22 years for the murder as he was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, December 15.
CCTV captured the moment Wilson stabbed Mr Francis-Kerr in the neck and it was this footage which ultimately helped a jury convict him of murder in a trial at Stafford Crown Court in September.
