  • Ben Wazabanga, 24, and Ronique Belfon, 23, are accused of murdering Ayowale Aladejana, 26, outside his home in New Cross, south London.
  • The couple allegedly travelled over 50 miles from Bedford with their two young children to confront Mr Aladejana over unpaid debts from a car rental business.
  • Prosecutor James Brown KC stated that Wazabanga stabbed Mr Aladejana in the chest with a hunting knife, piercing his heart.
  • Belfon is accused of driving Wazabanga to the scene and then away after the stabbing, knowing he was armed.
  • Both Wazabanga and Belfon deny murder, with the prosecution suggesting they intended to "have it out" with Mr Aladejana rather than kill him.
