Ms Wade said she then observed some people getting out of a black Ford Mondeo car. She said the two groups began fighting with each other and there were “hammers involved on both sides of the fight”. She said “blows were being struck” by two of the “lads”.The witness went on to say that the two men were striking each other with the hammers.Asked by Mr Byrne how close she was to the incident, the witness replied “too close”.
Opening the murder case to the jury on Monday, Mr Byrne said Mr Giwa was fatally stabbed in the neck in Tallaght in a row over a small debt and a stolen scooter by Mr Titiloye. The 12 jurors were also told that it was the accused’s position that he was in possession of a knife for self defence and having initially walked away from the altercation, he returned to protect his father, who sustained a stab type injury to the eye.
At the end of the altercation, Anthony Titiloye had an injury to his eye and is seen holding a towel to it. Garda Brian Law also identified the moment Mr Giwa collapsed in the street.
