A murder trial hears that Duane Anthony is accused of deliberately driving into a group of people in Arnold, near Nottingham, killing non-league footballer Tyler Fairman. The prosecution says the man allegedly drove a red Vauxhall Astra that mounted a kerb and struck a crowd in the early hours of 9 May.
Anthony, 40, enters a plea of not guilty to murder and five counts of attempted murder. Reporting across outlets describes the attack as occurring outside a bar, following a row, though the accounts focus on different aspects of what is alleged. The Mirror and Independent describe a car striking people and the resulting fatal injuries, while the Daily Mail emphasises claims that the prosecution argues Anthony intended to kill those in the crowd.
The trial considers the circumstances of the incident, including what led to the confrontation and whether Anthony’s actions were deliberate. Details cited in coverage align on the accused’s name, the vehicle described, the location, and the timing.
