The prosecution alleges Shaw attacked Mr Malhi - who was known as Bugsy - after drinking and taking drugs at a party, because he was wound up that a taxi failed to pick him up.

Shaw, of Community Drive, Smallthorne, admits killing Mr Malhi but denies murder. He claims he acted in self defence.

The trial continues.
