Does anyone where the original offence in this case took place?

_In the early hours of Sunday 7th December 1997, following an earlier encounter between them, an hour or two before, the appellant used violence to a man called Anthony Gray which caused his death_

Can’t find it in any press report.

Did some digging and didn’t come up with much … can only assume it’s London based on the original trial being at the Central Criminal Court.

I guess London too. It mentions Dr (Tunde?) Akinkunmi, who I’m sure was an NHS consultant psychiatrist in London in the 2000s.

The 18/2/99 judgment mentions that a defence consultant psychiatrist was Dr AJ Wilkins.

I knew of an expert witness, Dr Akintunde Akinkunmi who was working at the Cygnet hospital in Stevenage in 2008.
