Man accused of murder denies playing part in knife fight, trial hears

Dean Robinson, aged 32, of no fixed abode, blamed Darren Lock’s (pictured) death on brothers Joshua and Matthew Anderson, aged 22 and 20 respectively, both of The Haywards, Thatcham.
Mr Robinson told Reading Crown Court on Monday that he took the Anderson brothers to Mr Lock’s flat, 5 Bramble Court, Newbury, on the night of March 16, in order to buy cannabis.
However once inside the flat, Mr Lock, who was with his friend Danny Black, told the Andersons he did not have any cannabis, after which ‘some sickening things happened’, according to Mr Robinson.

The trial continues.
