A 41-year-old man, Mohammed Azim, is accused of murdering his 19-year-old girlfriend, Lily Whitehouse, after an incident in Oldbury last year involving a flatbed recovery truck. According to reports, prosecutors allege Azim used the vehicle to crush Whitehouse against a lamppost during an argument. Azim denies the accusation and tells the court he panicked after seeing someone else and initially made up a hit-and-run account. One version described by police and reported by outlets says he claims he saw another person hit Whitehouse and then left the scene, and that he later maintained this explanation. The court is therefore hearing contrasting accounts: the prosecution’s allegation that the truck was used to cause Whitehouse’s injuries, and Azim’s position that he fabricated the hit-and-run story in the aftermath of the incident because he was afraid or overwhelmed. The case is being heard in court, with details of events and competing witness accounts to be considered.
