THE jury in the trial of a man and two teenagers accused of attempted murder have retired to consider their verdicts.

Michael Spencer, 22, of Lincoln Road in Erith – also known as Michael Osumi – along with a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons, all deny attempted murder, wounding with intent, unlawful wounding and violent disorder.

The victim, Blessing Eyewu-Ago, was stabbed seven times, including to the side of the head, in an attack in Norman Road, Belvedere, on November 30 last year.

A jury of five men and seven women retired to consider its verdicts today (May 23) at 2.10pm.
