(BBC) An Islamic extremist had “murder in his mind” when he attacked two men with a knife, prosecutors have said.
Moroccan asylum seeker Ahmed Alid, 45, attacked his housemate and a man he met in the street, 70-year-old Terence Carney, in Hartlepool in October.
Mr Carney died but Mr Alid, 45, denies murder and attempted murder.
In his closing speech, prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC said the “key issue” was Mr Alid’s intention when he stabbed the men.
The court has heard Mr Alid lived with three other men at a home for asylum seekers on Wharton Terrace in Hartlepool.
