Two
men posed with huge knives in chilling pictures less than an hour before going
out to kill a man, a court heard.
Chilling
images of Donald Pemberton, 21, and Ryan Williams, 22, brandishing weapons were
posted on Facebook before they allegedly murdered Tanis Bhandari on New Year's
Eve after arming themselves with an axe and "at least one knife", a
jury heard.
The
27-year-old builder was part of a group allegedly confronted by the duo, who
accused of having gone out "looking for trouble", and died trying to
protect his friends.
Images
posted on Facebook and shown to the jury show Pemberton and Williams wielding
huge bladed weapons as they allegedly prepared for their night of violence, the
court heard.
Simon
Laws QC, prosecuting at Plymouth Crown Court , said Tanis' group was attacked
"for no reason at all" and described it as "violence for the
sake of violence".
