These are the knives seized from Jericho murder accused Greg Muinami’s home.

The pictures of the three blades were shown to the jury this week shortly before prosecutor Jonathan Higgs KC closed the Crown’s case against Muinami and the three other 19-year-olds accused of murdering Alex Innes last November.

Jurors at Oxford Crown Court were told that the knives were found during a two-day search at the teenager’s home in Cranham Street, a few hundred yards north of where 25-year-old Mr Innes collapsed to the ground in Walton Street with a fatal chest wound.

Among the knives seized was an implement with a short, curved, iridescent blade, which was apparently found down the side of a double bed in an upstairs bedroom.

A ‘combat’ style knife was found in its black fabric sheath in the back of a kitchen cupboard. A black and silver folding knife was discovered on the top of a cabinet in the bathroom.

Also found was a smart, clasp-handled box containing a set of kitchen knives. All but two of the slots in the box were filled and, while one of the missing knives was found, the final outstanding tool was never recovered.

Calculations by the police, based on the empty space in the case, suggested the blade of the missing knife was 13cm in length and 2.2cm at its widest point.

Previously, jurors have been told that the chest wound that claimed Mr Innes’ life was 9cm deep and 4.4cm in width. The knife pierced the Kidlington man’s heart, which pathologist Dr Charlotte Randall said would have resulted in rapid blood loss.

UPDATES FROM JERICHO TRIAL SO FAR

On Thursday, Muinami’s barrister David Hislop KC confirmed with the detective in charge of the case, DS Stephanie Barras-Thompson, that Mr Innes’ DNA or blood was not found on any of the exhibits seized during the house search.

Greg Muinami, 19, of Cranham Street, Michael Oluyitan, 19, of Waynflete Road, Bradley Morton, 19, of Cumberlege Close, and Keyarno Johnson-Allen, 19, of Furlong Close, all deny murder, manslaughter and possession of a bladed article.

The jury did not sit on Friday (June 2). The trial is expected to resume on Monday with the cases presented on behalf of the four defendants.
