The trial of a Greek taxi driver accused of murdering a teenager from Hampshire on the holiday island of Zakynthos has heard from the friends who witnessed his death.
Callum Lane, Steven Granston and Jordan Manson described how Robert Sebbage, 18, died during an argument from a single stab to the heart.
The three men appeared on the second day of the trial of Stelios Morfis in the southern port city of Patras.
The taxi driver, 22, denies the murder of the teenager from Tadley in Hampshire. He has apologised for the stabbing, saying he lashed out with a pocket knife after being taunted by a group of British youths. Another man, Dimosthenes Mylonas, 26, has been charged as an accomplice.
All three witnesses were injured in the stabbing attack on the island on July 13 last year. Mr Sebbage was on holiday with eight friends when he was killed during their last night out when the group got into an argument with two taxi drivers.
The trial has begun in Greece of a man accused of murdering teenager Robert Sebbage from Hampshire. The teenager from Tadley was stabbed in July last year while on holiday with four friends on the Greek island of Zante.
His family have flown out to to follow the trial of a taxi driver who denies his murder.
Police in Tadley in Hampshire are appealing for witnesses after several suspicious fires in the town.
There have been a number of reports of items of clothing being set on fire and left in bushes or near trees.
On Friday, a fire was set near goalposts in a park in Southdown Road.
There was another incident in the early hours of Saturday in an alleyway off Farringdon Way / Monkswood Crescent, where a hedgerow was set on fire.
And again in Heathland on Monday at about 8.15am where an item of clothing was set alight and stuffed into a tree.
Fortunately all of these fires were discovered and put out very quickly before they spread to any nearby properties. However, these incidents could have been much more serious. “I would like to speak to anyone who knows anything about these incidents or who has seen people acting suspiciously.”
The family and friends of a teenager, who was stabbed to death Greece, have been raising money to pay for legal representation in the trial of the man accused of killing him. Robert Sebbage's family need at least £60,000 and have held a charity football match in Tadley in Hampshire.
