The trial of four men and a teenager accused of murdering an Exeter man is set to begin in the city today.
Ryan Singleton, Darren Twigger, Anthony Martin and a 17-year-old youth – all from Coventry – and Steven Webster, 40, from Okehampton, Devon, deny murdering 43-year-old Stephen Crook.
The defendants also deny robbing Mr Crook of money and jewellery.
Mr Crook was found stabbed to death at his home in Alphington Road, Exeter, last November.
The trial at Exeter Crown Court is expected to last for around six weeks.
