The court handling the case of a murdered Nigerian student, Khaleed Oladipo, has heard that he was allegedly stabbed to death by a former friend following a dispute over money linked to a fake Rolex watch.
According to The Independent on Monday, Oladipo, 20, a third-year De Montfort University student, was on the phone with his girlfriend when he was attacked on Oxford Street, Leicester, on February 3. The accused, 18-year-old University of Leicester student Harper Dennis, denies murder.
Prosecutor Jane Osborne KC told Leicester Crown Court that the two students had previously been friends after meeting through online gaming, but their relationship later broke down over money.
“They had previously been friends. But there had been a falling out, seemingly over money that, at the very least, Harper Dennis perceived was owed to him by Khaleed Oladipo,” Osborne said.
