A man was fatally stabbed in the neck following a row over money, a Supreme Court jury heard yesterday.
Prosecutors allege that Charles Edwin Cunningham killed Darvey Basden on June 2, 2011 at an apartment at Constitution Drive.
Cunningham, who is on bail, has denied the allegation at his trial before Justice Indra Charles.
Basden's girlfriend, Georgina Wright, testified at the trial via video link.
She said while in the bathroom, she heard Basden arguing with someone in her bedroom.
She said when she came to investigate, she met the defendant, whom she called C.J., in her bedroom with Basden.
She said C.J. was asking for his money and he had a knife.
Wright claimed that she tried to take the knife and C.J. allegedly said "he would kill all of us if we tried [to] gang him".
After the alleged threat, Wright said her boyfriend asked her to leave the room with their three-year-old son.
She said when she returned to the room, C.J. was gone but she saw Basden in a pool of blood, barely able to speak.
Wright said she held his hand and placed cloth against the wound.
Wright said before he took his last breath, Basden told her that C.J. had stabbed him and that he loved her and their son.
Roberto Reckley appears for Cunningham. Kevin Farrington is the prosecutor.
