Two men from Penge and Lee allegedly murdered a rival county lines drug dealer who was lured to a flat in Hertfordshire.

Cameron Hill, 23, suffered 11 stab and puncture wounds in the fatal attack in Hatfield, on June 10 2019, the BBC reports from the trial.

Arnold Masumbundu, 20, of Lyme Farm Road, Lee, and Najiib Hasan, 24, of Queen Adelaide Court, Penge, have been charged with murder.

The murder allegedly took place at the St Peters Close flat of Christy Bishop, 38, a customer of the drugs line Mr Hill worked for.

Bishop is also charged with murder, alongside Nicholas Pitts, 40, of Stockbreach Road, Hatfield and Nickell Moore, 25, of Between Street, Cobham, Surrey. 

All five men deny murder.

The court heard that four men barged into Bishop's flat and asked him and a woman present to contact Hill. 

Ms Bishop sent his phone a text saying "I wanted something else", there was then a call between the two phones, and she later sent another which "simply said 'come on'", the court heard. 

"She lured him to his death in her flat with lies," the prosecutor said.

 Ms Bishop's neighbour called 999 at 1.20am and told them he "heard loud banging from downstairs and several voices shouting", later stating he heard a male stating "help me I'm dying out here", the BBC reports. 

Mr Hill was found collapsed and later died in hospital.

The court heard prints were found in the flat belonging to Pitts, Masumbundu and Hasan.

Ms Bickerstaff said all of them were known associates of Saleh Alhindi, who was spotted on CCTV that night alongside Suber Ismael, Mr Hasan, and Nickell Moore, 25, of Between Street, Cobham, Surrey.

Mr Alhindi and Mr Ismael "fled the country and have never returned".

The jury has been told the case is a retrial, after a previous trial was abandoned due to the first coronavirus lockdown in March.

The trial continues.
