Murder trial hears at least two of the 30 injuries inflicted on Walsall stab victim Mohammed Khan would have killed him
Medical experts who tried to save Walsall stab victim Mohammed Khan and examined his body have detailed the catastrophic injuries he sustained during the attack which killed him.
A murder trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court had already seen footage of Mr Khan being stabbed, stomped and left for dead on the pavement on March 17 on Bloxwich Road.
Zain Raja, 22 and of Harden Road, Walsall; Asad Iftakhar, 33 and of Bloxwich Road, Walsall; Hassan Iftakhar, 33 and of Bloxwich Road; Amaan Khan, 21 and of Harden Road; and Iftakhar Ahmed, 52 and of Bloxwich Road, are charged with murder.
The trial, expected to last five weeks in total, has passed its midway point and this week heard medical evidence from the surgeons who tried to save Mr Khan's life and the pathologists who examined the corpse.
Surgeon Richard Evans, who led the team trying to save Mr Khan's life at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, said: "Due to the severe injuries the patient had suffered he needed to be taken to the trauma unit. He had sustained a cardiac arrest and was placed on a breathing machine.
"He had significant injuries, which were severe and complex [...] wounds consistent with stabbing, to his neck, his back and left flank. Due to the neck injury he was taken direct to surgery. He had serious blood loss from his neck. A blood transfusion failed to increase his blood pressure."
