'Massive regrets' of murder accused who flogged knives

TRIAL TOLD 20-YEAR-OLD MAN SOLD BLADES 'TO MAKE PROFIT'

- ANDREW BARDSLEY

A MAN accused of murder after a fatal stabbing said he had sold knives on Snapchat.

Demari Rose, 20, told jurors that he now regretted the 'impulsive' decision to 'profit' from the sale of knives.

Mr Rose and another man, Xavaiour Wynter, 21, both deny murdering 21-year-old Salah Adam in Old Trafford in May last year.

Mr Adam was knifed following a 'heated' dispute about an incident the night before, prosecutors allege.

Mr Rose gave evidence in his defence for the first time during his trial at Manchester Crown Court. He told how he was born in Old Trafford and spent his early years there, before moving to different addresses across Greater Manchester.
