Cody Fisher: Birmingham nightclub murder trial due to start
23-year-old Cody Fisher was stabbed to death on Boxing Day 2022.
The trial of three men, accused of the murder of footballer Cody Fisher at a Birmingham nightclub, is expected to begin today (15 January).
Cody, 23, was stabbed on the dance floor of the Crane nightclub in Digbeth just before midnight on Boxing Day 2022.
Kami Carpenter, of no fixed address, Remy Gordon, of Cofton Park Drive and Reegan Anderson, of Erdington all entered not guilty pleas to murder and affray at Birmingham Crown Court in March last year.
The trial is expected to last for six weeks.
Cody had played for several non-league clubs in the Midlands, including Stratford Town and Bromsgrove Sporting.
Both teams held memorial matches in his honour, and helped fundraise for Cody's family and charities.
The nightclub Crane, where Cody died, was closed permanently in January 2023 after having its operating licence removed by Birmingham City Council.
