The court heard Trotter and Mr Singleton had arranged to meet on Saturday 22 September and were seen together on CCTV near to the Rawson Spring pub in Langsett Road.

Shortly after midnight an altercation broke out between the two men and Trotter was seen to lash out at Mr Singleton and walk off.

As Mr Singleton tried to walk away he collapsed in the street, having been stabbed three times.

Trotter initially denied the offence but later claimed he had been acting in self-defence after the two men had rowed about money.
