LONDON—A man accused of murdering a DJ who ran a popular radio station for the Turkish community in London has named two of his co-defendants as being involved and has claimed he only disposed of the body because he was “terrified.”

The prosecution has claimed Koray Alpergin, 43, was kidnapped, “horrifically tortured” and then murdered in an empty restaurant, the Stadium Lounge in Tottenham, by a group of “sadistic thugs” after taking his Turkish girlfriend, Gozde Dalbudak, out for a meal in Mayfair on Oct. 13, 2022.
