The girlfriend of footballer Cody Fisher has described the moment she comforted him as he lay dying in a Birmingham nightclub.

Jess Chatwin had been enjoying a night out with Mr Fisher and friends at Crane in Digbeth on 26 December 2022 when a group of masked men attacked him on the dance floor.

They had smuggled in a large knife with a serrated blade which was plunged into the 23-year-old's chest, causing him to collapse and ultimately die among more than 2,000 revellers.

Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter were convicted of his murder after a 10-week trial. A third defendant, Reegan Anderson, was cleared of murder and manslaughter but convicted of affray.

When she realised her boyfriend had been stabbed, Ms Chatwin said she needed to be at his side and reassure him "before it was too late".
