A young man was murdered after trying to act as a peacemaker when a fight broke out following a row over a car, a jury has heard. Badri Issa, 22, had been on his way to an exercise class with his pal Omar Jeylaani when Raami Mohamed, the driver of another car, gestured for him to pull over, a court was told.

Mr Pratt said Mr Issa then got out of the car. “It is the prosecution case, supported by evidence which we will describe and call,
