MEN who flew out of a car moments before a fatal stabbing were targeting males and laughed as one declared “ha we’ve f**king killed him now”, witnesses say.

Six males are on trial at Bradford Crown Court for the alleged murder of Kian Tordoff on October 10 last year, in John Street.

All six are also charged with the attempted murder of Matthew Page – who is also known as Matthew Lowther.

Mr Tordoff died at the scene, while Mr Lowther survived but was left fighting for his life in hospital.

Both men had been in the Village nightclub, in Sackville Street, before a fight erupted and then a second incident occurred less than an hour later where they were both stabbed multiple times, the court heard.

Arbaz Khan, 22, Aizaz Khan, 27, both of Yew Tree Avenue in the Daisy Hill area, Amaad Shakiel, 20, of Leaventhorpe Lane, Adam Qayum, 23, of Avenel Road in the Allerton area, Mohammed Adil Hussain, 18, of Kite Mews in the Lower Grange area, and a 17-year-old who cannot be named due to his age, all deny murder and attempted murder.

The 17-year-old has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Tordoff on “diminished responsibility” on account of his mental health at the time and also pleaded guilty to wounding with intent in relation to Mr Lowther.

A number of pre-recorded interviews with witnesses who were there at the time of the stabbings were played in court by the prosecution in the third day of the trial today (Thursday).

Leah Jones, who was 19 at the time, was interviewed on October 10 last year at 1.53pm.

She had been in Village nightclub at the same time as Mr Tordoff and Mr Lowther and Bethany Keenan, another interviewed witness, was out with the pair.

All witnesses heard today denied anything kicking off in the club, other than an unrelated fight, but said a large brawl erupted at the top of Sackville Street, on Westgate, after it closed at 5am.

The court heard around 20 minutes later a white BMW X5 pulled up next to a group of around 15 people, including Ms Jones, Mr Tordoff, Mr Lowther and Bethany Keenan, and a number of men “came flying out”, according to Ms Jones.

She said: "The doors just seem to open at the same time, but they opened really fast, then I just seen one guy running towards us and I didn't even look at him ‘cos I seen the knife in his hand, I didn't look because I said 'Cam, they've got knives'.

"I didn't want to run off, because what if it were me and I was on my own, so I stayed."

Ms Jones and Ms Keenan both said one of the men was stood over their female friend, Cameron, at one point but moved on due to her gender.

Ms Jones claims one of the men shouted the instruction.

She said: "We were trying to get away from them, they didn't come for any girls, they just went for the boys.

"I think one of them tried going for Cam, I think someone shouted 'she's a girl, she's a girl, don't hit her' and they didn't.

"Cam tripped over and fell, a guy was there, but I didn't see the guy, it was too fast, he stepped over Cam."

But Ms Keenan thinks it was their friend, Olivia, who said “get off her, she’s a girl”.

Ms Keenan was interviewed by police on October 17 last year at 9.30am.

She said one of the men said “do you think you’re f**king clever now” out the window of the car as it pulled up at about 5.43am and that four Asian males got out.

Ms Keenan also said another of the men shouted “we’ve killed him” as they all ran back to the car laughing.

She said: "They're running back laughing saying 'we've killed him.’

She added: "There was about five of them stood there and it's like a little circle, stood in a little circle, like that, the fourth one round is like a 'ha, we've f**cking killed him now', that's how he said it."
