A MAN accused of murdering Newport's Lemy Bullock waved a samurai sword in the air and gloated about the killing, the trial was told yesterday.
Witness Barbara Postains told Cardiff crown court that she saw defendant Martyn Bruce waving the sword alleged to be a murder weapon used on Mr Bullock, 36.
She said that Bruce told co-defendant Mohammed 'Mo' Nasser: "'I was your right-hand man.'"
Mo Nasser, 44, of Kirkby Lane, and Bruce, 38, of Courtybella Gardens, both Pill, deny murdering Mr Bullock.
Aaron Kent, 24, of Livale Court, Bettws, Newport, has pleaded guilty to Mr Bullock's murder.
Ms Postains also said Nasser burnt Kent's coat and scarf along with Scream masks, gloves and socks in her back garden. Mo Nasser's brother, Abdul 'Sammy' Nasser, 39, of Bassaleg Road, Newport, also denies murder. He is accused of supplying the alleged murder weapon.
Ms Postains' son, Ronald Matthew Postains, said Mo Nasser, Bruce and Kent were drinking and smoking cannabis before Mr Bullock's death. Proceeding
