A man accused of murdering a clubber on a dance floor in a dispute over where he was standing has told his trial it was his friend who stabbed him. Prosecutors said Edward Wilson killed him from "anger arrogance or jealousy". However, the year-old told jurors he did not know there had been a stabbing until his friend admitted he may have "got" him after they left the club. Prosecutor Maria Karaiskos KC said it was the crown's case that he attacked the year-old on the dancefloor after returning from the toilet to find him standing in a recessed area of the club, where he had been standing since he arrived at about GMT. Mr Francis-Kerr was wounded at about and died within an hour on 11 March, the court heard. Mr Wilson said that there had been an "altercation" with the victim because he asked him to move from the spot, but said he was not aggressive. Bouncers pulled Mr Francis-Kerr away, but Mr Wilson told the court he had no idea he had been stabbed, adding that afterwards his friend wanted to leave the club so they tried the front door, which was locked, and then used a fire exit. The pair and a female friend got into Mr Wilson's Audi and left, but returned to retrieve a phone the female friend said she had left behind. While waiting for her, his friend said "something along the lines of 'I think I got him' - I asked, what do you mean? I said what do you mean you've stabbed him? I didn't even know until he told me. Mr Wilson said he did not know there had been a stabbing, but he "kind of took him seriously" then they spoke no more about it. There was no need to do anything like that, it wasn't that serious," he added.
