A PRISON officer saw an accused killer re-enacting stabbing someone following the murder of a father of two in Basingstoke, a court has heard.

On Monday, November 21, a prison officer who the Gazette is not naming, gave evidence in the trial of three men accused of killing a man in his home in Musgrave Close, Brighton Hill.

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 the murder of Frantisek Olah on Sunday, May 22.

Mr Olah, 31, was found with serious injuries in Musgrave Close, Brighton Hill. He was later pronounced dead.

A post mortem recorded that he had suffered stab wounds.

Kaysha Saunders, 18, from Highfield Chase, Basingstoke, and Kelsea Byrne, 18, from Warwick Road, Basingstoke, and Abbie Mills, 18, from Woburn Gardens, Basingstoke have been charged with assisting an offender. 

As previously reported, the three men allegedly "fled the immediate scene of the murder" with the help of 'their girlfriends' Saunders and Byrne. While Carty and Kamarra-Jarra fled to Oxford, Daley was later arrested in Southampton.

The jury at Winchester Crown Court heard from a Feltham prison officer who overheard a conversation Carty had while in the prison yard with another prisoner.

She said: "A saw a young person I believe to be Je Daine Carty and another young person was there.

"They were just walking around chatting. One young person asked what he was in for and he said he was in for an M charge."

Prosecutor Sarah Jones KC told the court that an 'M charge' is often used by young offenders to describe a murder charge.

The prison officer continued: "They said someone had been stabbed and bam bam bam and used a stabbing motion."

The officer told the court they believed the motion was used to replicate a samurai sword.

"He went on to describe it and he said he went on to slit his throat but I can't remember all of what was said," she continued.

The court heard that it was not clear whether he was talking about his own actions or someone else's.

When asked by Judge Martin Spencer QC what was said they replied 'it was something along the lines of my guy, went to pull out a knife and slit his throat." 

Ms Jones said: "So it appears he was talking about someone else?"

The prison officer said yes.

Defending Carty, Laurie Ann Power KC added: “You heard a discussion about the use of a knife and some motion but you don’t know who was meant to have used that knife or whether it was him or someone else.

“You heard two young boys discussing things near you and you heard bits of the conversation but you are not sure what bits relate to what charge.”

The trial continues.
