A man on trial for killing Sam Cook publicly re-enacted the stabbing for friends.
Jurors at Liverpool Crown Court heard that Carl Madigan took delight in the act which fatally wounded the 21-year-old at Empire Bar in October last year.
CCTV footage showed the Garston resident recreating the stabbing twice in the aftermath of Mr Cook’s untimely death in the city centre bar’s basement.
Madigan was captured carrying out the re-enactment on two occasions, first in a street and subsequently in another bar on the same evening.
The court was also told that Mr Madigan’s friend Lewis Langfield bumping into Mr Cook’s girlfriend Charlotte Owen sparked the ultimately tragic disturbance.
Miss Owen was hit in the face with a glass during the altercation.
Nick Johnson QC, prosecuting, said that Madigan had concealed a vegetable knife in his sock on the night that Mr Cook was stabbed in the heart.
Madigan, 23, has admitted manslaughter but denied murdering Mr Cook. The trial continues.
