Man accused of murdering Wolverhampton taxi driver 'did not want to hurt him'
The man accused of murdering popular Wolverhampton taxi driver Anakh Singh has denied he meant him any harm.
Tomasz Margol took the stand at Wolverhampton Crown Court and blamed the taxi driver for their fight which led to the tragedy.
Speaking through an interpreter, Margol claimed that when he entered the taxi on Nine Elms Road, Park Village, on Sunday, October 30, the fare had already been paid on the ABC taxi firm's website.
He said: "I got into the taxi and the driver said I had to pay up front, but I said it had already been paid by card.
"He said it had not so I told him to refresh his app. He began shouting at me in his own language. He was very aggressive. He gently pushed me to get out of the taxi."
Margol added: "I got out the car. He came at me, he was shouting. I told him to 'go away' and 'p*** off' but he kept shouting in his own language. I was backing off."
