A NEIGHBOUR told police they thought the property where a father of two was murdered was a 'drug house', a court has heard.
Frantisek Olah, 31, was fatally wounded in his home in Musgrave Close, Brighton Hill, just after 11pm on Sunday, May 22.
Ismaila Kamarra-Jarra, of Milton Close, Basingstoke; Je Daine Carty, 18, of Ferndown Close, Basingstoke; and Cohan Daley, 18, whose address cannot be given for legal reasons, have all been charged with murder.
On Wednesday, November 9, a jury at Winchester Crown Court heard from two witnesses – both neighbours of Mr Olah – who called 999 immediately after hearing noises coming from the house where the stabbing happened.

The court first heard from one neighbour, who the Gazette is not naming, who lives across the house where Mr Olah lived.
The court heard the phone call they made to 999 at the time of the incident and watched a video interview they gave to police the day after the incident.
The jury heard from the phone call that three men were seen running from the house as they was on phone with 999.
The neighbour, who was sleeping at the time of the incident, said they woke up to loud noises coming from Mr Olah’s house and looked through their bedroom window when they saw dark shadows inside the house.
They then made the call to 999 after hearing loud voices like “ouch” and “get off me” coming from Mr Olah’s house before three men were seen running from the house.
In the phone call, they said: "Didn't quite see the face, no. But the one at the front I think is the one who usually goes to their house.”
The neighbour was seen telling the police that Mr Olah and his partner moved to the house just a month before the stabbing.
They said they believed it was a “drug house” as there were a lot of people visiting the house.
The court also heard a video interview of Debbie Wells who lives next door to the house where the incident happened.
She was watching the Match of the Day when she heard noises coming from Mr Olah’s house.
Ms Wells called 999 after Mr Olah’s partner Chelsey Lee came to her house saying there were men with knives at her home.
A recording of the phone call was played in the court and she was heard saying a man has been stabbed.
While on the call, she went to his house and saw Mr Olah lying in a pool of blood.
“There were lots of lots of lots of lots of blood,” Ms Wells was heard saying in her witness interview to police.
“I grabbed him and there were wounds on his sides and back.”
