An asylum seeker accused of stabbing to death a hotel worker has put forward a “laughable” defence in the face of CCTV evidence which could not be clearer, a murder trial has heard.

In her closing speech to the jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court, prosecutor Michelle Heeley KC alleged that Deng Chol Majek had been “utterly callous” when he was seen dancing in a car park after Rhiannon Whyte had been stabbed more than 20 times.
