Overview

• The trial entered its final phase with Muhammad Amaad and Mohammed Fahir Amaaz testifying that they acted in self-defense during the Terminal 2 car park confrontation.
• Amaad described fearing for his life after being punched and Tasered and denied that delivering six punches to PC Marsden amounted to unlawful force.
• Amaaz’s defense team presented 20 character references and argued that officers failed to identify themselves and used unnecessary aggression.
• Jurors have reviewed CCTV and body-worn camera footage showing blows from both brothers, a Taser deployment and a kick by PC Marsden after Amaaz was Tasered.
• The Independent Office for Police Conduct continues to probe PC Marsden’s actions despite the CPS’s December decision not to bring charges against him.
