This is the disturbing moment two men stabbed a talented footballer to death on a nightclub dance floor on Boxing Day in petty retribution. The attack occurred after one of the killers found him on Snapchat and vowed ‘revenge’ for accidentally touching him on the back during a night out two days earlier.
Video released by police from the night shows the footballer dancing in a group including his girlfriend Jess Chatwin and best friend Dan Vann before he was ambushed by 10 masked men. Remy Gordon, 23, and Kami Carpenter, 22, were today found guilty of murdering 23-year-old Cody Fisher, who died in front of his girlfriend and best friend at the Crane nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham, just before midnight on December 26, 2022.
Gordon took a photo of Mr Fisher and chillingly asked his friends ‘who knows this likkle pip squeeze…due to shank him up’ while trying to find him after the former Birmingham City academy player made ‘unavoidable’ contact at Popworld in Solihull on Christmas Eve.
CCTV footage shows the two men talking face to face at the club before Mr Fisher begins walking away and Gordon – who had wanted an apology but did not receive one – pulls him back.
Less than an hour after the encounter, Gordon sent messages in a Snapchat group he was in with friends including Carpenter and appealed for their help to identify Mr Fisher and threatened to ‘shank him up’.
He shared a photograph with an arrow pointing to Mr Fisher and asked ‘Who knows this likkle pip squeeze [sic]?’ before adding ‘man think he’s bad’ and ‘posh yout’.
Mr Fisher was attacked by a masked group at the Crane club in front of more than 2,000 people. The weapon – a zombie knife – was left buried in his chest after being smuggled in following cursory security checks.
His partner today told the BBC how she thought he had been ‘knocked out’ and tried to arrange him in the recovery position before she discovered the knife.
Jess said she knew she had to tell him everything she could before it was ‘too late’ and said: ‘I just kept telling him that I loved him and I was here.’
She emotionally described how that night ‘replays’ in her head ‘every single day, every single night’.
Telling the BBC about how everything reminds her of him, she said she still has the Lucozade bottle he drank out of on Christmas Eve which was left in her car.
The 999 call reporting the brutal attack was released by police, which hears a clubber say ‘someone’s been stabbed’.
Further video released by the police shows the arrest of Mr Fisher’s killers. The body-worn camera footage showed five officers surrounding Carpenter as he was forced to sit on a road while in handcuffs.
He was then searched before put into the back of a police van dressed in white trainers, black joggers and a white t-shirt.
Family members in the public gallery cried and stormed out of the courtroom as the jury found Gordon guilty of murder and affray after deliberating for 28 hours.
Carpenter was found guilty of murder by a majority of 10 to one, was found not guilty of the same charge at the Crane, relating to an attack on a friend of Mr Fisher.
Fellow defendant Reegan Anderson, 19, of no fixed address, was found not guilty of murder and not guilty of an alternative charge of manslaughter but guilty of affray and was bailed until a sentencing hearing after Easter.
CCTV footage showed a group including Gordon and Carpenter laughing as a they reenacted the murder in a pizza takeaway later in the night.
