Overview
- Majek told the court he was outside the Park Inn hotel at the time, said he had never spoken to Rhiannon Whyte, and denied any reason to harm her.
- He rejects being the person on CCTV at Bescot Stadium station or the figure seen throwing Whyte’s phone into the River Tame.
- Prosecutors say CCTV shows a man following Whyte from the hotel before she was stabbed 19 times in the head with a screwdriver and later died in hospital.
- Agreed facts read to jurors state police arrested Majek at 05:06 on October 21, 2024, and that he remained silent during a legally represented interview that night.
- The defence argues misidentification, while the prosecution questions his claimed age of 19, citing a discontinued German report listing a 1998 birthdate which he attributes to a documentation error.
