JURORS have retired to consider their verdicts in the trial of three men who are accused of murdering a drug dealer from Newport.
Euan Peters, 42, from Dros-y-Morfa, Rumney, Cardiff, Conlan Dunnion, 23, of Maesglas Avenue, Newport, and Perrie Dunwell, 33, of Cold Mill Road, Newport, are accused of killing Shafiul Islam.
It is alleged the trio murdered the 22-year-old Mr Islam, who was nicknamed ‘Chilly’, following a planned robbery at his home in the Shaftesbury area.
Prosecutor Mark Wyeth QC said Mr Islam died after he was repeatedly hit over the head with a Kopparberg cider bottle in November 2019.
