Javell Morgan was stabbed to death at last summer's Caribbean Carnival
The mother of a 20-year-old brutally murdered as violence erupted at Manchester's Caribbean Carnival said she will be forever haunted by her son's death. Javell Morgan was stabbed to death in Moss Side last summer, when two groups of young men from Huddersfield clashed in the street, one side armed with guns, the other with knives.
Prosecutors argued that the case involved 'conflict between rival gangs'. Judge Goddard said the case had 'obvious gang overtones', but said there was a 'lack of evidence of current gang membership', particularly in relation to Crosfield. The court heard that teachers regarded Javell's teenage sisters as high achievers, but the grief caused by their brother's death has affected their studies.
Just after midnight they became involved in an altercation with another group of young men from Huddersfield. Prosecutor John Elvidge KC said: "A by-stander heard one of the members of the opposing team say to another 'there’s ops right there, I see ops right there'." Mr Baptiste, 24, of Wellfield Bank, Huddersfield, Mr Blackburn, 21, of Towngate, Huddersfield, and another man, Byron Goodhall, 23, of Dalmeny Avenue, Huddersfield, also stood trial and were found not guilty of murder and manslaughter.
