FOUR men accused of shooting dead a teenager on a soon-to-be demolished estate are due to begin their defence next week.

Marvin Henry, 18, was gunned down on the Inglis Barracks Estate, in Mill Hill, on October 27, after a feud which saw him dump rival Shervin Irvani, 19, from St Albans, in a dustbin, police claim.

The prosecution case has drawn to a conclusion and defence barristers representing the men on trial, including Mr Irvani, are likely to begin their rebuttal next week.

Each defendant has his own legal team and each will get a chance to put their case in turn.

Defendants are not obliged to take the stand, but if they do it will be in this part of the trial.

Ithai McPhee, 21, a builder of Abbotts Road, Edgware; Rafik Hamaizia, 18, of North Hill, Highgate, known as Rebel; Rory Faley, 21, from Finchley and Mr Irvani deny murder.
