Summary
- A man is on trial for murder after allegedly driving into a crowd.
- The incident occurred after a disagreement outside a bar.

In Nottingham Crown Court, a trial has commenced regarding a fatal incident that occurred on May 9th. Duane Anthony, 40, faces charges of murder and five counts of attempted murder, accused of deliberately driving a car into a crowd of people outside a bar in Arnold. The prosecution presented CCTV footage showing an altercation between two groups, including the deceased, Tyler Fairman, 26, and his friends from Woodthorpe Park Rangers Football Club.
Prosecutors contend that after the disagreement, Anthony returned to his parked car and drove at Fairman and his companions in what they described as a "cold, calculated and violent" act. The court heard that Fairman succumbed to his injuries three days later on May 12th. Anthony's partner, Destiny Carrier, 29, has pleaded not guilty to assisting an offender.
