An asylum seeker who fatally stabbed a pensioner in the street has told jurors he felt unwell and that he might faint when he did it. Ahmed Alid, 45, is charged with murdering Terence Carney, 70, in Hartlepool town centre, minutes after repeatedly knifing his sleeping housemate Javed Nouri, 31, in his bed.
After describing the struggle he had with the former body builder who had converted to Christianity, he explained how a number of problems, including an issue with his father dating back to 2003, were on his mind. He also said he felt homesick, that he could not work in the UK and that he had argued with Mr Nouri previously.
Via an Arabic interpreter, Alid told jurors: “My hand was bleeding, I had lost a lot of blood and he came towards me. “I felt like dizziness.”
