AN ACCUSED killer went to buy drugs from a murdered father of two but did not know about an armed robbery, he told the court. 

On Monday, December 5, Ismaila Kamarra-Jarra, began giving his evidence in his trial at Winchester Crown Court where he stands accused of killing a man in his home in Musgrave Close, Brighton Hill.

Kamarra-Jarra has been charged with the murder of Frantisek Olah on Sunday, May 22, along with Je Daine Carty 18, of Ferndown Close, Basingstoke; and Cohan Daley, 18, whose address cannot be given for legal reasons.

During his evidence, the court heard that Kamarra-Jarra went to Musgrave Close to 'restock' on drugs but did not know that a robbery was planned. 

He said that he planned to buy the drugs from Mr Olah and was carrying more than £1,000 in cash.

As previously reported, Carty said in his evidence that he worked for Mr Olah as a drug runner but after becoming in debt with him decided to rob him. The court previously heard that Carty asked Kamarra-Jarra, and Daley to help him carry out the robbery armed with knives.

Despite this Kamarra-Jarra told the court that he did not get his knife out until he left the address and he knew nothing about a robbery.

Defending Kamarra-Jarra Kate Lumsden KC asked him if he stabbed Mr Olah. He answered no.

In cross-examination defending Carty Laurie Anne Power KC added: "In your defence statement you said you were standing a house distance away and you had your knife on you which is for your protection and you heard a commotion inside the house.

"You heard a commotion and that is what pushed you to go inside. You are entering the unknown and the only reason you hold a knife is to protect yourself, why did you not draw your knife?"

She continued: "I am suggesting that you and Mr Daley followed quickly behind Mr Carty.

"What you were met with is a scene where Mr Olah is on the floor behind the door and you don’t see anyone stab him while you are there according to your account and the 14 stab wounds must have been inflicted before you went into the house."

Kamarra-Jarra told the court that there was a moment he was alone with Mr Olah in the hallway. 

Ms Power asked whether in that moment he pulled out his knife and stabbed him. Kamarra-Jarra answered no.

The trial continues.
