Emin Kandola acts for the first defendant in multi handed armed robbery trial

The prosecution case is that in January 2025, at around 9pm, four individuals attended a home address in Gillingham.

Having allegedly forced entry to the property with hammers and knives, they caused serious injuries to two complainants.

The defence case is that this was a drug deal “gone wrong”, and that it was, in fact, the complainant who produced counterfeit notes at the door, resulting in an argument and fight between all parties.

The trial is ongoing and is expected to last two weeks at Woolwich Crown Court.
