[London & UK Street News @CrimeLdn]

Two men have today been found guilty of the murder of Cody Fisher, who was stabbed to death on the dancefloor of a Birmingham nightclub on Boxing Day, 2022.

The semi-professional footballer had been on a night out with friends when he was attacked following an ‘insignificant’ encounter with one of the killers two nights earlier.

Cody, aged 23, had accidentally bumped into Remy Gordon (2nd pic) at Popworld in Solihull and the pair exchanged a few words.

But Gordon refused to forget the encounter, and set about trying to identify Cody from social media images he found of him on other nights out.

He learned Cody’s name, and that he was likely to be at the Crane nightclub on Adderley Street in Digbeth on Boxing Day

Inside the Crane, just before midnight on Boxing Day, Cody was surrounded before being headbutted, punched and kicked. He was stabbed once in the chest and died from the wound at the scene.

Today at Birmingham Crown Court after a trial lasting two months, Gordon, of Rednal, and Carpenter, of Kings Norton were convicted of murder. Gordon was also found guilty of affray.

Anderson, of Erdington, was cleared of murder, but found guilty of affray.

They will be sentenced at a later date.

Oh my, Olivier Giroud! 😍

He just loves scoring worldies, doesn't he!?

VAR initially ruled the goal out but it stands as Mario Hermoso was deemed to have deflected the ball onto the Frenchman 🙌
