A man charged with the murder of 23-year-old footballer Cody Fisher in a Birmingham nightclub on Boxing Day has made several admissions and claims during his court appearance. He admitted to purchasing a large knife, which he found 'cool' and was 'fascinated' by its size, particularly its length. Additionally, the accused has implicated a co-defendant in the case, asserting that this individual has fabricated lies to conceal his own participation in the crime. This development comes alongside allegations of corruption against a detective involved in the case, who is accused by defense attorneys of intending to bias his grand jury testimony in favor of another person linked to the incident.
