A murder trial has been shown footage of a self-confessed killer trying to carry out a 'massacre' on his neighbours. It saw a father of three stabbed to death and two others wounded.
Can Arslan, 52, is currently on trial for the murder of Matthew Boorman, who was stabbed 27 times on his front lawn after returning home from work. Bristol Crown Court heard Arslan was fuelled by "anger and revenge" against fellow residents in his village who had been trying to evict him for several years due to his anti-social behaviour.
Despite repeated warnings to police and to his victims - including telling one officer of his murderous intentions the day before - Arslan carried out the attack on October 5, 2021. The entire incident in the village of Walton Cardiff near Tewkesbury, Glos., was caught on CCTV and doorbell cameras - some of which has now been released by police after being shown to the jury.
