The latest from court after a dramatic U-turn

Mr Gibson, 52, suffered a fatal wound to his shoulder in an attack involving a knife, a spade and a tyre wrench in the early hours of July 11, 2022. He was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital but was pronounced dead at 2:13am.

Pugh, of Chapel Street, Blackpool, is charged with Mr Gibson's murder, along with Tina Walsh, 43, Stephanie Steele, 38, Shaun Neil, 42, and Aaron Chadwick, 33. Mr Justice Linden told the jury that if they accept Pugh was acting lawfully when he stabbed Mr Gibson, the other defendants will be acquitted.

During the trial at Preston Crown Court, the jury has heard how Mr Gibson visited the home of Walsh and Neil, where the other three defendants were present. Following a row on the doorstep, there was an altercation in the street. All five defendants were captured on CCTV running away from the scene as Mr Gibson lay seriously injured on the pavement. Witnesses described them laughing and joking as they fled.
